He said the driver of the vehicle lost control, hit a tree and somersaulted, resulting in the death of victims.
Adam said the victims were certified dead by medical doctors at the PHC Center, Sule Tankarkar Town.
The vehicle was overloaded with foodstuffs including bags of flour and cartons of spaghetti suspected to be smuggled.
He, however, warned motorists to abide by the stipulated road traffic rules and regulations to avoid loss of lives and property.
