Two persons from Rajasthan were killed when their truck fell into a deep ditch near here this morning.

As the stone-laden truck reached Simrol, about 30 kms from here, the driver lost control over the vehicle following which it fell into the ditch, police said.

The mishap occurred apparently because of brake failure when the truck was going to Aurangabad in Maharashtra from Jhalawar in Rajasthan.

The deceased truck driver and cleaner were identified as Mohanlal (27) and Bhima Meena (26).
