Truck Driver Rescued After Five-Hour Operation in Kolad Gorge Accident
A truck carrying a driver and cleaner veered off the Pune-Kolad route near Kolad, falling into a 250-foot gorge and coming to rest against a tree that prevented it from sliding into a deeper 500-foot gorge. The cleaner escaped with minor injuries, while the driver remained trapped inside. Rescue teams, including SVRSS, a crane service, and local police, conducted a careful five-hour operation to stabilize the container and safely extricate the driver amid challenging terrain and risks of further slippage.
