Truck hits gas cylinder-laden tipper in Punjab

Phagwara, June 25 (UNI) A major road accident was averted today near the Radha Soami Satsang Dera on the National Highway near Goraya when a high-speed truck hit a stationary tipper loaded with gas cylinders, causing the tipper to fall off the flyover, police and eyewitnesses said.
The accident could have led to an explosion as the tipper was carrying nearly 350 gas cylinders.
The impact left the truck and tipper drivers, and a cleaner injured. Bystanders quickly alerted the highway control room. ASI Jaswinder Singh of the Road Safety Force, along with his team, swiftly reached the spot and barricaded the area to prevent further accidents.
The injured were identified as truck driver Gurdayal Singh of Ludhiana and tipper driver Sahil of Pathankot. The cleaner was identified as Rublepreet of Gurdaspur.
The tipper driver told the police that he had stopped to check the tyres when the truck collided from behind, causing the tipper to fall nearly 15 feet from the flyover along with the cylinders. Truck driver Gurdayal Singh claimed he lost control of the vehicle as a trailer suddenly appeared in front of him while moving up the highway, leading to the collision.
The Goraya police were informed and they arrived at the spot promptly. They contacted the owners of both vehicles and coordinated the removal of the wreckage from the highway.
The police have initiated an investigation.
