Tractor-Trailer Overturns in Guna, Three People Tragically Killed Under Steel Rods
Three individuals lost their lives in a tragic accident when a tractor-trailer overturned in Guna, Madhya Pradesh.
A tragic road accident occurred in Guna, Madhya Pradesh, on Thursday evening, resulting in the death of three people. The incident happened in the Mrigavas police station area, located about 65 kilometers from Kumbhraj. According to reports from news agencies, Baboolal Meena (60) was returning to his village Bakoniya after selling coriander at the agricultural produce market. On his way back, he overloaded his tractor-trailer with approximately 10 quintals of steel rods for house construction, which likely contributed to the accident.
The tractor-trailer became unbalanced while descending a slope, leading to it overturning near a local temple. Upon overturning, the heavy steel rods fell on the individuals seated in the vehicle. Tragically, Baboolal Meena, Jagdish Ahirwar (45), and Raman Ahirwar (22) died at the scene. Authorities were notified immediately, and police arrived on-site. They had to call in a crane to remove the steel rods and the overturned trailer, which took considerable effort, resulting in temporary disruption to traffic on the roadway.
The negligence due to the vehicle being overloaded has been identified as the primary cause of the accident. This incident highlights the dangers associated with overloading vehicles, especially in hilly or uneven terrain, and raises concerns about road safety regulations and enforcement in the area. Such accidents stress the need for stricter monitoring of vehicle loads to prevent future tragedies.
