A Haryana Police constable was killed and two head constables injured in a road accident on the KMP Expressway after a speeding dumper truck collided with their vehicle.

A Haryana Police constable was killed and two head constables were injured in a road accident on the KMP Expressway, police said on Friday.

The accident occurred near Khera Khalilpur late Thursday night when a speeding dumper truck hit the vehicle of the police team, they added.

According to the police, the Dial-112 police team was at the spot after receiving information about a pickup truck accident on the KMP Expressway.

When the policemen were engaging in relief work and managing traffic, a speeding dumper coming from the Rewasan side lost control and collided directly with the police vehicle.

After the accident, the driver fled the spot.

Eyewitnesses said the impact was so severe that the police vehicle was badly damaged, leaving Constable Balwan dead on the spot, and two head constables injured.

The injured were later rushed to a nearby hospital, where they are undergoing treatment, police said.

''An FIR has been registered. We are currently searching for the absconding dumper driver. Initial investigations indicate speeding and negligence as the primary causes of the accident,'' a senior police officer said.
