Ghaziabad, July 29: A devastating road accident occurred late Tuesday night around 12:30 AM in the Niwadi area of Ghaziabad Police Commissionerate.

Tragically, three individuals lost their lives at the scene, while several others sustained injuries.
Upon receiving the news, the Niwadi police promptly arrived at the accident site and initiated rescue operations. The injured were transported to a nearby hospital for immediate medical attention.

Earlier, on July 21, a truck loaded with steel rods lost control near Chapparola in Greater Noida and fell into a roadside drain. The accident was so severe that the heavy steel rods pierced through the cabin, trapping the driver, who later succumbed to his injuries.

Using a hydra, crane, and gas cutter, they worked for nearly two hours to extricate the driver. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival.
