Three persons, including two children, were killed and two others seriously injured after a trailer truck rammed into a motorcycle in Rajasthan's Rajsamand district on Sunday, police said.

The accident occurred near Selaguda village on the Amet-Deogarh state highway when a trailer coming from the Deogarh side collided head-on with the motorcycle.

Two others sustained serious injuries and were referred to a hospital in Udaipur for treatment.

Police said a case has been registered and an investigation is underway.
