Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh:

A woman and her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter were run over by a pickup truck when they fell on the road after the motorcycle on which they were travelling collided with a scooty here on Saturday, police said.

The woman's husband and brother-in-law were injured in the incident that took place near Nau Gaja Pir, they said.
