Pune, 6th August 2025: witnessed two alarming truck accidents on Wednesday, triggering concerns over road safety in the city.

While multiple vehicles were damaged in the impact, there were no injuries reported. Preliminary information suggests that the truck driver may have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.
Just hours later, another accident was reported near Vadgaon Bridge in Pune around 11 AM. A truck veered off course and slammed into a traffic signal pole, bringing it down completely. Thankfully, no one was hurt in this incident either.
Both cases have caused temporary disruption to traffic flow in the affected areas. Authorities are investigating the causes, with special attention on the condition of the vehicles and driver conduct.
