NEW DELHI: At least two people were crushed to death in a horrific accident captured live near Chaila in Shimla district.
The accident was captured as a local journalist was doing a Facebook Live.
The incident involved a speeding apple-laden truck colliding with at least three vehicles. The collision was caught on camera, showing the impact of the crash. The two killed were a couple from Jubbal.
The accident took place on Tuesday evening when the truck from Narkanda was going outside the state taking the Rajgarh-Solan road.
The truck reportedly veered towards Chaila market instead of the Sainj–Rajgarh road, went out of control, hit four vehicles, turned turtle, and crushed the couple.
Brake failure led to the accident, said police.
The bodies were extracted with the help of an excavator and sent for post-mortem to the Civil Hospital in Theog, police said, adding a case had been registered.
