For nearly an hour, rescue workers kept talking to an eight-year-old boy trapped inside the mangled remains of a car, trying to keep him conscious as they worked to pull him and his one-year-old sister out of the wreckage.

The two children had survived a crash on the Delhi- Mumbai Expressway in Gurugram early Thursday, in which their parents and other sister, aged 7, were killed after their car rammed into a stationary bus, police said.

The family, originally from Bihar, lived in Southwest Delhi’s Rajokri.

Police said Bum Prasad, 38, his wife Roopa, 35, and their children were returning home after visiting a Balaji temple in Rajasthan’s Dausa when their Maruti Swift rear-ended a private bus between 3 am and 3.30 am near Dhunela in Sohna.
