Electricity pole falls on moving car in Sirsa

A streetlight pole fell on a moving car on the Hisar Road in Sirsa on Tuesday night, severely damaging the car's front portion. The two occupants of the car escaped unhurt. The incident occurred when Ashok Kumar, a Sirsa resident, was returning from a hotel with his friend after dinner. As their car approached the stretch near Parshuram Chowk, the pole from the road divider unexpectedly fell on their vehicle. Nearby shopkeepers and pedestrians rushed to the scene and pulled the occupants out of the car. Eyewitness Neeraj Sharma said that the accident was caused by a tractor-trailer which hit the pole, causing it to fall on the car following it. A 'Dial 112' team arrived at the spot to assist to victims. Passersby and shopkeepers worked together to remove the pole from the car, ensuring the area was cleared for other vehicles. The police are investigating whether the tractor-trailer operator was negligent.
