A sad accident happened on Pune’s Navale Bridge when a truck’s brakes stopped working, killing a 34-year-old bike rider named Rahul Jagannath Khatpe. The accident took place at 1:20 PM and caused a big traffic jam as other vehicles, including two bikes and two auto-rickshaws, also got hit.
The truck lost control because its brakes failed, and it crushed Khatpe, who was carrying a big oil can on his bike. When the accident happened, the oil spilled all over the bridge, making the road very slippery. This made it hard for other vehicles to move, and traffic stayed blocked for many hours.
The police caught the truck driver and are now trying to find out why the accident happened. They’re checking if the truck was properly maintained, if the driver followed safety rules, and if there was something wrong with the bridge that made the accident worse.
Navale Bridge is known as a dangerous place because many accidents have happened there before. People who live nearby and traffic experts have been saying for a long time that this bridge needs to be made safer. They want the government to do something quickly so that no more accidents happen here.
After this sad incident, officials are talking about making new safety rules and fixing the bridge to make it safer. Traffic police are looking at what safety things are already there on the bridge, and engineers are thinking about what changes they can make to stop more accidents from happening.
The police and traffic department are now working hard to find ways to stop such accidents in the future. This accident shows us how important it’s to keep vehicles in good condition, follow traffic rules, and have safe roads and bridges. They want to make sure that no one else gets hurt on Navale Bridge like Rahul Khatpe did.
This tragic incident has been added to the growing list of Pune crime news that highlights the need for improved road safety measures in the city.
