The father and son were hit by a speeding truck, which caused them to fall onto the highway. Several cars then ran over them, according to the officer. He said that after hearing their cries, locals hurried them to Jalpaiguri Medical College and Hospital, where medical professionals declared the man and his son dead and sent the woman to North Bengal Medical College and Hospital in Siliguri for medical care.
