The incident took place in Mehdawal town when the vehicle ran into a stationary truck, police said, adding that the morning fog could have led to the accident.

The cleaner of the truck, identified as Mohamad Imran (32), died on the spot while the driver was seriously injured and admitted to hospital, Additional Superintendent of Police Aasit Kumar said.
