Twenty tractor‑trolleys carrying sand broke away, struck a car and sent it into a drain, the driver said he felt he got a second chance at life.
A road incident reported by Bhaskar English involved twenty tractor‑trolleys loaded with sand that fled from their convoy and collided with a passing car. The impact forced the car to plunge into a nearby drain, halting traffic on the affected stretch.
The driver of the car, who escaped serious injury, described the experience as a near‑miss, saying he felt as though he had been given a second lease on life. No official figures on injuries or property damage have been released yet.
Local authorities were alerted to the scene, and emergency services attended to clear the vehicle from the drain and restore normal traffic flow. Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the tractor‑trolleys' sudden movement.
The incident underscores the risks associated with heavy‑load transport on Indian roads, especially when safety protocols are not strictly followed. Officials have urged transport operators to ensure proper securing of loads to prevent similar accidents.
Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available from police and rescue teams.
