Rear-End Collision Triggers Rollover
In the video, two tractors can be seen travelling in the same direction on a multi-lane highway. While the front tractor moves steadily, the tractor approaching from behind appears to be speeding and driving erratically. Within seconds, it crashes into the rear of the leading tractor with great force.
The impact causes the front tractor to lose balance, veer sharply and overturn onto its side, sending dust and debris flying across the road. The struck tractor is seen sliding and coming to a halt after rolling over.
No Injuries Visible In Clip
Though the crash appears severe, no injuries are visibly seen in the short clip. The video ends shortly after the overturned tractor comes to rest. Officials are yet to confirm whether anyone was hurt in the incident.
Highway Safety Concerns Resurface
According to NCRB data, alcohol consumption was a factor in nearly 16% of India’s 1.68 lakh road accident deaths in 2022, prompting renewed calls for stricter sobriety checks, especially in rural and agrarian regions.
Police are expected to verify the authenticity of the footage and investigate the allegations of drunk driving.
