A truck fell off a Ludhiana flyover, leaving the vehicle’s conductor in critical condition as emergency teams rushed to the scene.
Earlier today a heavy truck lost its balance and fell from a flyover in Ludhiana, coming to rest on the road below. The sudden plunge caused a brief disruption to traffic on both the flyover and the adjoining streets.
Emergency services, including police, fire and ambulance units, arrived within minutes. The driver and other occupants were rescued, while the conductor of the truck was found to be critically injured and was immediately shifted to a nearby hospital for intensive care.
Authorities have cordoned off the area to facilitate rescue operations and are conducting a preliminary investigation to determine the cause of the accident. Traffic on the flyover is expected to resume once the wreckage is cleared and safety checks are completed.
