According to the reports, the incident occurred around 4:45 pm near the Pahadi Gate crossing, which is considered one of the busiest intersections on the highway. Police stated that both vehicles were moving towards Bilaspur Gate. While approaching the crossing, the Bolero driver attempted to take a turn, where the truck continued to move straight at the diversion, resulting in a collision and overturning onto the Bolero.&nbsp;CCTV footage also shows that the truck driver attempted to swerve on, suddenly spotting the Bolero ahead in a bid to avoid a crash. The manoeuvre caused the truck to hit the divider, smash through it and topple onto the Bolero. The truck, laden with wooden scrap, spilt its load across the road, completely covering the smaller vehicle.
