Bettiah Road Horror: Truck Loaded with LPG Cylinders Kills Pedestrian

Bihar’s Bettiah witnessed a gruesome accident late Sunday, where a truck carrying LPG cylinders mowed down vehicles, killing shopper Bablu Kumar instantly. The chaos on Supriya Cinema Road also left a female rider in grave condition, now receiving treatment at the local GMCH.

Around 6:30 PM, the drama began with the truck’s sudden loss of control. It slammed into two bikes and a scooter, reducing them to wreckage. Bablu, en route home with market goods, stood no chance against the juggernaut’s force. The scooter lodged fatally under the undercarriage, amplifying the destruction.

A mob of concerned citizens halted the vehicle, ensuring the driver couldn’t flee. Arriving officers secured the scene, arrested the perpetrator, and arranged for the deceased’s post-mortem. Medical teams airlifted the injured to safety.

The fallout has ignited public fury, with protesters urging crackdowns on speeding commercial trucks invading residential zones. Shocking CCTV visuals confirm the truck’s unbridled assault, prompting questions about driver training and vehicle maintenance. As Bettiah mourns, this tragedy amplifies the call for comprehensive road reforms to avert more needless deaths.
