Two persons were crushed to death after their vehicle was hit by two trucks coming from the opposite direction near Champa Morh in Batote area of Ramban district at around 5.30 pm, a police officer said.

In a separate incident, a conductor of a Kashmir-bound truck was crushed to death under the wheels of the vehicle near Karool in Ramban district.
