It is said that the truck was plying from Mangaore city to Infosys, Konaje.

A case has been registered in Konaje police station.

 
In another incident, a truck moving on NH 66 got stuck in between the half-constructed road near Kallapu in Thokottu.

    The rains have just started and the roads are accumulated with water.There is no flow of water as the drainage's are closed.The chances of accidents are more during the rainy season especialy to the two wheeler riders. The MCC is requested to take immediate measures to avoid accidents due to accumulation of water on roads.
