Chhatarpur(MP), Feb 27 (UNI) A man and his wife were killed when they fell from a narrow bridge into the Ghasan river after their bicycle dashed against a speeding truck.

The incident took place at Garouli village, 30 km from here, yesterday when Kanchedi Kushwaha and his wife Shanti were heading for Alampura village. While Kanchedi died on the spot, his wife died at the district hospital.

There was no railing on the narrow bridge and such incidents were frequent, police said.

Agitated villagers blocked the road and they called off the blockade on the assurance of the officers to construct the railing.
