Two Killed as Cement Truck Falls into River in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh District
In Madhya Pradesh's Damoh district, a cement-laden 18-wheeler truck lost control around 1 am on Saturday, crashing through a river bridge railing and plunging about 40 feet into the Chilhghat River. Rescue efforts were hindered by strong currents and the truck's heavy load. After deploying cranes from Jabalpur, rescuers recovered the bodies of the driver, Abhishek Vanshkar, and cleaner, Tulsinath, both from Vidisha district. The truck remains lodged in the river as recovery continues.
