 Three members of a family died in Assam's Jorhat district on Monday after being hit by an SUV with Nagaland registration, police said.

Angry locals blocked the road and vandalised the vehicle, prompting the Nagaland government to issue an advisory asking people of the state to avoid using the route till the situation normalises.

The accident took place in Dhodar Ali area of Mariani as the Mokokchung-bound vehicle coming from Dimapur collided head-on with the scooter on which three people were travelling.

Sources said that the driver lost control over the car after one of its front tyres burst and the vehicle hit the scooter, killing the trio on the spot.

Locals blocked the road and damaged the vehicle, forcing the Nagaland government to ask Mokokchung-bound travellers to "take the Golaghat-Merapani-Champang-Sonowal route to avoid unnecessary harassment in Mariani".
