Nagpur, India: A tragic road accident near Katol Naka, Nagpur, on Sunday night led to the deaths of a 50-year-old woman and her 10-year-old grandson, while three others were seriously injured.

The victims were returning to Kalmeshwar after attending a wedding anniversary celebration when a pickup truck crashed into their two-wheeler. The deceased have been identified as Prabhabai Prabhakar Dhanwate (50) and Harsh Nitin Turkar (10).
