Imphal, June 03 2016 :
An escorted Tata tanker filled with petrol fell
into a river near Bongmol village along National
Highway-2 in Sadar Hills early today.
The ill-
feted 10 wheeler met with the accident at around 5:20 am while moving toward Imphal from Dimapur, our correspondent reports.
The driver, Mani Yaima, sustained critical injuries and has been admitted at RIMS
Hospital, Imphal.
Escorted tankers frequently encounter similar accidents
along the Dimapur-Imphal highway as drivers get little time
to rest during the journey, the driver said in his statement.
He said the escort personnel should give drivers at least an
hour to rest during the journey to avoid such accidents.
