Goods truck washed away along with driver in Khammam

A goods truck was washed away along with its driver in the overflowing Nimmavagu stream at Jannaram village of Enkoor mandal in the district on Wednesday.

The stream on the Pallipadu–Enkoor route was overflowing since morning due to heavy rains caused by cyclone Montha in the district. The driver, despite



warnings from locals, attempted to cross the low-lying bridge across the stream.

When the truck reached halfway on the bridge, it veered towards the downstream due to the strong water current, which eventually pushed the vehicle into the stream. The district administration engaged an NDRF team to rescue the driver.
