The impact of the road accident was such that the car overturned and fell into a roadside ditch, according to the police official.
A resident of Punjab, Paramjeet Singh, his sons Sarvjeet Singh (14) and 12-year-old Ansh Singh, and two others were returning to Patiala after attending a wedding in Bareilly on Monday.
According to the police official, they had stopped the car to recharge the FASTag -- an electronic toll collection system -- when the truck rammed into their vehicle from behind.
"Paramjeet Singh and his sons died on the spot while the two other passengers are undergoing treatment at a hospital," the police said.
"The bodies were removed from the car with the help of locals and sent for post-mortem," they said.
A probe is underway.
