Karkala, Feb 24: A tipper carrying mud for the service road lost control and overturned as it moved toward the main road. Accident happened Today on February 24 near Murthangadi area in Sanuru Gram Panchayat, work is underway to construct a service road in front of the Sanuru Agricultural Cooperative Bank.
The driver was the only person in the tipper, and the vehicle rolled over beside him.
Fortunately, the driver escaped with minor injuries and was able to get up from under the overturned tipper without any major harm.
The accident occurred when the tipper, carrying mud, climbed onto the concrete embankment built along the edge of the service road to allow rainwater to flow, causing the tipper to topple.
The driver, despite having ample space nearby to operate the vehicle, irresponsibly drove the tipper on the concrete embankment. As a result, the DBL Construction Manager, Balaji, severely reprimanded the driver.
With the help of local residents and the use of available Hitachi and Leveler machines, the truck was lifted and righted at the site.
