A pilgrim headed to the Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine was killed and three others injured on Thursday in a road accident in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district, police said.

A bus carrying the pilgrims hit a barricade at Moori Naka near Katra town apparently after the driver lost control of the vehicle.

The injured were shifted to a government hospital here.
