Accident keeps Indus Highway blocked for five hours

Source The News

The Indus Highway remained blocked for five hours after a collision between a trailer and a truck, creating problems for the people travelling between Peshawar and Kohat. Long queues of vehicles were seen on both sides of the road. The commuters found it difficult to get to their destinations.

A person sustained injuries in the collision on the Indus Highway in Darra Adamkhel. Eyewitnesses said the trailer (TLA-449) rammed into the truck (C2313) at Abbas Chowk, leaving its driver, whose name could not be ascertained, injured.

Meanwhile, residents in Darra Adamkhel have asked the authorities to help rebuild the bridges blown up by the militants. They said the destroyed bridges also contributed to the traffic snarls as the people could not take alternative routes in case of the blockage of the Indus Highway due to traffic accidents.
