BETUL: Madhya Pradesh Police have intensified searches for a dumper truck driver whose vehicle – probably a dumper truck - allegedly scattered gravel across a 2-3 km stretch of the Betul-Nagpur four-lane highway (National Highway 46), leading to a series of accidents, injuring six people.
Those who received injuries were identified as Dilip Choube (44), Jugan Bai (85), Khamdev (32), Saraswati (55), Ram Nath (65), and one person whose identity is not known.
The mishaps occurred Sunday evening near Sapna Dam, involving four cars and two motorcycles in successive crashes over a few hours.
Additional Superintendent of Police Kamla Joshi confirmed the gravel as the primary cause, noting that the hazardous debris forced vehicles to skid uncontrollably.
