Nelamangala accident

In a tragic accident in Bengaluru, six people lost their lives when an Eicher truck carrying several tonnes of aluminium pillars overturned. The truck, en route to the city, reportedly lost control as the driver tried to avoid a collision with a vehicle ahead.

Traveling at high speed, the truck veered off course, crossed the median, and overturned onto a Volvo car heading towards Tumakuru. The impact was catastrophic, leaving the car mangled. Before coming to a stop, the truck also struck a tempo, causing minimal damage.

The horrifying incident, including the moment the truck crushed the Volvo, was captured on a nearby CCTV camera. Police are now analyzing the footage as part of their ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident.
