Two were grievously injured when an onion-laden truck turned turtle near Parrinala on the National Highway on Tuesday afternoon. Both driver and conductor of the truck, who happen to be brothers, are hospitalised and are said to be in a serious condition.
The accident that occurred at 1.30 pm caused severe damage to the truck and the bridge. According to the sources, as soon as the truck reached the bridge, the driver dozed off behind the wheel. As the truck was at a high speed, it only took a few seconds for it to go out of control, crash and fall down the bridge. Both the injured are undergoing treatment at the Rajnandgaon district hospital. Police has registered a case in this regard.
