At least five migrant labourers were killed and 13 others injured when a truck in which they were travelling overturned in Madhya Pradesh's Narsinghpur district, a police official said on Sunday.
The accident took place near Patha village on Saturday night when nearly 20 migrant labourers were going in the truck to Jhansi and Etah in Uttar Pradesh from Hyderabad, additional superintendent of police Rajesh Tiwari said.
Five labourers were killed and 13 others were injured after the mangoes-laden vehicle overturned, he said.
The injured persons were admitted to the district hospital for treatment, he added.
Earlier on Friday, 16 migrant labourers, sleeping on the railway track, died after a train run over them near Aurangabad. The labourers were en route to their village in Madhya Pradesh.
A survivor had told police that he and three others tried to alert others of the incoming train but it was in vain.
