Clicking a selfie proved fatal for a family of five as a speeding truck crashed into them and grievously injuring them at Narayan Setu in Assam’s Bongaigaon district.

As per sources, the family was taking selfies on the bridge with their car parked by the side when suddenly a speeding truck bearing registration number ‘AS 27C 8411’ hit their car, injuring all of them who were in the vicinity.

The injured include women and also a child, the source said, adding that they have been admitted to a hospital in Goalpara in critical condition.

All of the victims belonged to Dubapara in Goalpara district, the source added.
