In a rare incident, a tractor rammed into a hutment killing two senior citizens in Tasgaon Taluka, district Sangli near Pune.
According to the police, a tractor was called for Thursday evening by a farmer to pick up decomposed cow dung from a pit in his farm situated on a hill.
The driver of the tractor parked the vehicle on the slope without applying the hand- brake and watched the labourers load the cow dung in a trolley attached to the tractor.
Suddenly the tractor started rolling down the slope and before any one could react, the heavy vehicle dashed against a hutment where the farmer's old parents were resting.
The tractor driver is absconding since the incident.
