Bhubaneswar: Three elephants were killed after being hit by a speeding truck on National Highway 20 in Odisha's Keonjhar district early on Thursday, a forest official said.
The incident occurred when the elephants were crossing NH-20 near Balijodi under Ghatagaon forest range in Keonjhar district. The iron ore-laden truck hit them while the elephants were crossing the road.

"At around 2 a.m. last night, the mishap occurred when a herd of 10 elephants were crossing the National Highway," said Santosh Joshi, Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Keonjhar.
