NEW DELHI - Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee was seriously injured when his car and a truck collided in the east of the country, the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency reported early Sunday. Mukherjee received stitches to the head but was conscious and in stable condition, West Bengal state Home Secretary P.R. Roy told PTI.
The accident occurred late Saturday as the 71-year-old Mukherjee was headed back to the eastern city of Kolkata with other leaders of the ruling Congress party from Murshidabad. A truck skidded and hit the ministerÂ’s car head-on near the village of Nakashipara, the agency reported. At least four others were injured in the accident.
Looks like an accident so this is local news, not WoT. |
