A 36-year-old man and his three minor daughters were killed after a truck hit their motorcycle near Godhra town in Gujarat's Panchmahal district on Friday (April 18). The accident took place on the Godhra bypass road at around 1:00 pm, in which the man's fourth daughter, aged three, miraculously survived. After the accident, the unidentified driver of the truck abandoned his vehicle and fled from the spot, inspector of Godhra taluka police station PK Asoda said.
