Truck Trolla hangs over Bridge at N.H 8, No fatalities

A truck carrying brand new cars partially hanged over a bridge, nearly 20 feet high from the ground. The incident occurred today at Kundal Bridge, near Kaya on Udaipur-Ahmedabad highway.

Both the driver and the spotter were rescued from the vehicle as three cranes immediately responded to the spot along with a police team from Goverdhan Vilas Police Station.

According to the truck driver Sonu Khan, the mishap took place when he tried to avoid accident with another vehicle that tried to overtake the truck. Sonu lost control over the truck and crashed with the boundary wall of the bridge.

The front part of the truck including driver’s cabin was hanging while the latter part was on the ground. Due to heavy load, the truck maintained a balance which evaded further disaster.

Soon a large number of people gathered around and police was informed. The traffic at highway was also affected for more than an hour.

Four cranes helped in pulling the hanging part of the truck back to the ground and both driver and his assistant were rescued unhurt.

According to sources, the truck coming from Delhi was carrying cars of Maruti and was going towards Mumbai.
