Guwahati, 29 May (HS): In a devastating road accident on the outskirts of Guwahati, four persons lost their lives after an Arunachal Pradesh Government vehicle collided with a stationary truck at Dimoria along the National Highway on Friday.

According to initial reports, the government vehicle slammed into the rear side of a truck that had been parked beside the highway. The impact of the collision was severe, leaving the vehicle completely mangled and killing all four occupants on the spot.
