Four persons, including three women workers, were killed after a van collided with a lorry in Sholur near Ambur town on Thursday. Rash driving by the van driver, who was among the dead, might be the reason for the accident, the police said.
A group of more than 20 workers, mostly women labourers, from Vaniyambadi were travelling in the van to go to a private shoe making company in Kannigapuram near Ambur when the accident occurred.
The vehicle crashed into the median and hit a goods-laden lorry, which was going towards Vaniyambadi, resulting in the deaths. The accident happened around 8 a.m.
