Bihar boy trapped in bridge pulled out after 20 hours, dies on way to hospital

An eleven-year-old boy who was pulled out nearly 20 hours after he was trapped between a pillar and a slab of a bridge here, died Thursday on way to a hospital.

The mentally challenged boy who managed to wedge himself in a part of the bridge built over the Son River, in Atimi village in Bihar’s Rohtas district, was pulled out after the slab behind which he was trapped was cut up.

“The boy was brought to Sadar hospital where doctors declared him dead after examination,” K N Tiwary, Civil Surgeon, Sadar Hospital (Sasaram) told reporters.
