A container truck overturned near Asma Bar in Chicalim in the early hours of Friday, with the incident reported at around 6.35 am. The mishap led to disruption along the busy road, though no injuries or casualties were reported. According to available information, the driver lost control, and the truck toppled onto the roadside. The exact cause of the accident is yet to be ascertained.   

The situation worsened during the clearance operation, when a crane was brought in to remove the overturned vehicle. The process of lifting and shifting the truck resulted in a traffic jam along the stretch, with vehicles lining up on both sides and commuters facing delays during the morning hours.   

Authorities reached the spot and managed the situation while the crane operation was underway. After some time, the truck was cleared from the road, and traffic movement gradually returned to normal. Despite the disruption, the absence of injuries was a relief, as the incident occurred at a time when vehicular movement in the area was beginning to increase.
