Just a day after a bullet tanker met an accident near Daili village along the Trans Asian Highway No 1, another escorted LPG tanker met similar accidental along the highway this morning.
The incident happened early this morning at around 4 when a filled LPG tanker heading towards Imphal veered off the highway and fell into a gorge inflicting serious injuries to the driver and the handyman.
Fire fighter from Fire Sub-Station, Kangpokpi and police immediately rushed to the spot and halted traffic movement along the highway as a preventive measure since the ill-fated tanker bearing Regd No MN01-6122 had leakage in one of its compartments.
However, no untoward incident has been reported.
The place of occurrence is only a about half kilometre away from the place where the accident took place on New Year day.
It may be mentioned that an empty truck heading towards Dimapur side from Imphal met accident last year at this particular place claiming the live of one woman passenger.
