Truck Carrying Maggi Falls into Maharashtra River, Driver Dies in Accident
A truck carrying Maggi noodles fell about 100 feet from a bridge into the swollen Jagbudi river in Maharashtra's Ratnagiri district amid heavy rainfall, resulting in the driver's death. The vehicle was swept approximately 400 meters downstream by strong currents. Rescue efforts were hindered by swift water and the truck's position, but the driver's body was recovered after several hours. Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident, and the driver's identity remains unconfirmed.
