Foggy Chaos: Speeding Truck Plunges Into Deep Ditch in Bijnor
A truck traveling from Ramnagar to Noida crashed into a water-filled ditch in Bijnor due to thick fog, leaving two people injured.
A journey from Ramnagar to Noida turned into a nightmare on the Noorpur Road in Bijnor, where a speeding truck crashed through a culvert and plunged into a deep, water-filled ditch. The violent accident left both the driver and his assistant injured and trapped in the water.
A Sudden Plunge in the Fog
The incident occurred within the jurisdiction of the Dhampur police station. According to the truck driver, the vehicle was navigating the Noorpur Road when visibility dropped sharply due to thick fog. The limited sight caused the driver to lose control of the heavy vehicle, leading to a collision with a culvert that sent the truck spiraling down into the ditch.
Dramatic Rescue Operation
As the truck disappeared into the water, passersby who witnessed the crash immediately rushed to the scene. The rescue was far from easy, as the depth of the ditch and the presence of water made it difficult to reach the victims. After a strenuous effort, locals managed to pull both the driver and the assistant out of the wreckage.
Once rescued, the two injured men were quickly transported to a nearby hospital, where they are currently receiving medical treatment.
Police Action and Recovery
Local police arrived shortly after the accident to secure the area and manage the traffic flow, which had been disrupted by the crash. The Dhampur Station House Officer confirmed the details of the accident, noting that the vehicle was traveling on the Noorpur Road at the time of the plunge.
Current Status of the Site
- Investigation: A formal inquiry has been launched by the authorities to determine the exact circumstances leading to the crash.
- Recovery: Police, with the assistance of local residents, are utilizing a crane to pull the submerged truck out of the ditch.
The driver attributed the loss of control to the dense fog, which obscured the road and the culvert, leading to the catastrophic plunge.
