A few days earlier, a truck had also crashed at the same location, though the driver survived, according to locals who alleged negligence by local authorities in failing to install barricades and warning signage at the spot.
Gurvinder Singh, the truck driver injured in the earlier incident, said the accident occurred on the night of January 2 amid dense fog and he remained trapped at the site for nearly four hours before being rescued.
