A speeding van plunged into a water-filled well after hitting a bike in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur district on Sunday, leaving 11 persons, including a biker and a rescuer, dead, police said.
Ratlam range DIG Manoj Singh said 13 persons were travelling in the van. “Four of them were rescued while nine others died. A villager, identified as Manohar, who descended into the well for rescue, also died,” he said, adding that the body of a victim of the accident is yet to be pulled out of the well.
Prima facie, the van driver lost control of the wheel after the vehicle hit a bike and fell into the well. The bike rider was also killed, he said. A rescue operation, involving the NDRF and other units, is underway.
