Mangaluru, Jul 27: An overloaded lorry lost control and toppled into a roadside gorge on the Natekal – Manjanady road on Thursday, July 27.
Miraculously, the driver managed to escape with minor injuries.
The entire incident was captured by a CCTV camera.
The lorry, heavily loaded with plywood, was en route from Deralakatte to Thoudugoli. At the same time, a cement mixer tanker approached from the opposite direction. While the plywood-laden lorry attempted to make space for the cement mixer tanker, it lost control, resulting in the accident as it toppled and plunged into the gorge.
