Dhar: Pickup Truck Laden With Cement, Fertiliser and Iron Swept Away by Torrential River in MP, 4 Passengers Narrowly Escape Death by Swimming Through Strong Current (Watch Video)

A dramatic incident occurred in Semlipura village under Tirla police station when a pickup truck (MP 11 G 5131), loaded with cement, fertilizer, and iron, was swept away by the fast-rising waters of the Dilawara river. The vehicle, carrying driver Pahad Singh and three passengers—Manasing, Popadia, and Gulab—was crossing the river around 6:30 PM when the water level surged dangerously. Despite the overwhelming current, all four occupants bravely swam through roughly 50 feet of deep water to save their lives. Locals rushed to the site to help, but the strong flow made retrieving the truck extremely difficult. The vehicle was en route to Surajpura Gram Panchayat when it was carried away. Bengaluru Horror: Boy Pops Head Out of Car Sunroof, Strikes Overhead Barrier in Shocking Video Showing Carefree Moment Turning into Dangerous Accident.

MP के धार जिले के तिरला थाना अंतर्गत सेमलीपूरा में दिलावरा नदी के ऊपर बनी रपट के ऊपर से पिकअप वाहन नदी में बह गया। आपको बता दें कि इस मार्ग पर नदी के दोनों और कोई संकेत तक नहीं लगे थे जिसके कारण पिकअप वाहन के चालक को अंदाजा नहीं था कि पुलिया पर कितना पानी है । pic.twitter.com/bjPGwjYxR7
