A CRPF jawan was killed while three others were seriously injured when a stationary truck overturned on them after being hit by another goods carrier while the victims were having breakfast near Dodi-Aamla on Indore-Bhopal highway on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place when the CRPF jawans were on their way to Neemuch from Bilaspur in their truck loaded with goods for their store.
