Kothagudem/Hyderabad, Dec 11 (Maxim News) An acid tanker driver who was trapped in the cabin after the vehicle overturned and fell in a roadside gorge in Mulkalapally mandal in the district.
The accident occurred when the tanker lorry carrying hydrochloric acid from Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh to Raipur in Chhattisgarh lost control near a bridge on Pamaleru stream during wee hours on Thursday.
As the heavily loaded tanker fell into the gorge its cabin was completely crushed, trapping the driver inside. Acid leaked out as the tanker was ruptured, filling the area with fumes.
