2 killed as wall of flyover bridge of NH 27 collapses in Rajkot
TWO persons were killed after a section of the wall of a flyover of National Highway 27 collapsed and its debris fell on them at Aji Dam Chowkadi in Rajkot amid rain on Monday.
Police said the incident took place at around 11:30 am when a section of the retaining wall of the southern approach of the flyover bridge gave away amid rain. Footage recorded by a security camera at the site showed the two scooterists who were tailing a truck on the service road close to the wall of the bridge when the reinforced-cement-concrete wall collapsed all of a sudden. The two men didn’t have any time to manoeuvre their vehicles to safety and were buried under the debris.
