A major road accident occurred late at night near the Nagdi Dam in the Jahazpur area of Bhilwara district. A cargo-filled container traveling from Gwalior to Kankroli suddenly lost control, smashed through the highway safety railing, and plunged directly into the dam. During the mishap, roadside electricity poles and trees were also severely damaged after being hit by the out-of-control vehicle. The unexpected late-night incident created a stir in the locality, prompting nearby villagers to rush to the spot and gather in large numbers.
Vehicle loses control and crashes into water
According to details, the freight container was en route from Gwalior toward Kankroli. While passing near the Nagdi Dam in the Jahazpur region, the driver lost control of the heavy vehicle. The unmanageable container broke through the highway railing and fell straight into the water body. The impact was so severe that electricity poles and trees in the path were also destroyed. The sudden late-night incident caused panic in the surrounding area, after which local residents reached the site and informed the police. Law enforcement arrived promptly to assess the situation and initiate rescue operations.
Rescue operations underway using three cranes
The biggest challenge following the accident has been extracting the submerged container from the dam. Because the container is packed with a large volume of goods, the extraction process is proving to be difficult. Due to the heavy weight, additional resources are required for the relief work. Consequently, three cranes have been deployed to pull out the goods and the vehicle. Operations to clear the cargo using the cranes are actively ongoing, with police personnel and local villagers present at the site to assist in the recovery efforts.
Extent of damage and ongoing efforts
Following the late-night accident near the Nagdi Dam, a large crowd remained gathered at the site for a long duration. The extensive damage to the highway railing, electricity poles, and trees highlights the severity of the crash. Authorities and workers are currently making continuous efforts to safely retrieve the container and its contents. Fortunately, no information regarding any casualties or injuries in the accident has been reported so far.
