Four injured in separate accidents in Salt Lake

Four persons, including two civic volunteers were injured in separate road accidents in Salt Lake on Saturday.

A couple who was riding on a scooty lost control and rammed into the car from behind when it suddenly took to its left. The young couple fell on the road and received injuries.
