Kolkata, March 9 (IANS) Three school students standing by the roadside in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district were crushed to death by a speeding truck, police said on Saturday.
"The incident took place in Gopinathpur on Friday evening when Tushar Debnath, Saathi Kirtania and Reba Halder, all aged 15, were out for their tuition class," a police officer said.
