The traffic police however has diverted traffic in order to prevent traffic jams during morning rush hour, and have been trying for five hours to remove the truck from under the bridge.

In a similar incident another truck had met with an accident under the same bridge leading to a traffic jam. A car travelling behind the truck was also wedged under the truck.
