Truck rams into divider on bridge in Thane, two dead
A truck driver and a helper lost their lives after their vehicle carrying iron rods and pipes hit into a divider on a bridge and crashed into a street light pole in Maharashtra's Thane city shortly after midnight on Tuesday, civic officials said.
The incident was reported by the traffic police to the local control room at 12.35 am, Thane Municipal Corporation's disaster management cell chief Yasin Tadvi said, according to PTI.
"The driver appeared to have lost control of the truck while crossing the Patlipada bridge. The vehicle rammed into the central divider and crashed into a street light pole, causing the truck's cabin to crumple completely," Tadvi informed.
Both the persons were immediately rushed to a government hospital in Thane where doctors declared them brought dead, Tadvi added. The victims have been identified as truck driver Vinod (42) and helper Rahim Pathan (25), both residents of Uttar Pradesh, the official stated.
The accident caused nearly 8 tonnes of iron rods and pipes to scatter across the road, while oil from the damaged vehicle also spilled onto the route, bringing traffic to a halt in both directions.
Rescue teams, assisted by a hydra machine, later cleared the debris by moving the materials to the roadside. Hose reels and water jets were used to clean up the oil spill, an official said, according to PTI.
