Four Dead in Tragic Truck Accident on Ambala's Tangri Bridge
A devastating accident occurred on Monday when a truck overturned and crushed two motorcycles on the Tangri Bridge National Highway in Ambala, resulting in the deaths of at least four individuals, according to police reports.
Details of the Fatal Crash
The truck was en route from Delhi to Chandigarh when the driver is believed to have lost control, potentially due to dense fog conditions. The vehicle overturned on the Tangri Bridge stretch at Shahpur, approximately two kilometres east of Ambala, completely blocking the carriageway.
Rescue teams recovered two bodies from beneath the overturned truck, while two others were found lying beside the vehicle. The scene was chaotic as emergency services rushed to assist.
Rescue Operations and Traffic Disruption
Police immediately responded to the scene and initiated rescue operations with the assistance of a crane to remove the overturned truck. The accident caused a severe traffic jam along the Delhi–Ambala section of the highway, disrupting normal movement for hours.
To alleviate congestion, police diverted vehicles and worked tirelessly to clear the road, aiming to restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible.
Impact and Investigation
This tragic incident highlights the dangers of driving in adverse weather conditions, such as dense fog, which can significantly reduce visibility and control. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the exact cause of the accident to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
The community is mourning the loss of lives, and efforts are underway to support the affected families during this difficult time.
