Ludhiana: Driver charred to death as truck overturns, catches fire

Hindustan Times  

A truck driver was charred to death after the vehicle hit the railing of a bridge, overturned and caught fire in Transport Nagar on the Amritsar-Delhi national highway, officials said. Even as the authorities continue efforts to ascertain the exact cause of the accident, it is suspected that the driver lost control over the vehicle, which led to the crash. Officials said the vehicle skidded for about 20 to 25 feet before overturning and the diesel tank struck the road, causing an explosion that led to fire. Although the fire was controlled within minutes, retrieving the body took a lot of time due to its condition.” This is the second vehicle fire in the last two days in the city.
