Pune – The bellowing injured driver of an over-turned truck on old Mumbai-Pune highway was left while the local residents looted the onion sacks.
The truck loaded with onion sacks fell off the Valvan bridge near Lonavla on Pune-Mumbai highway around 6am on Thursday and landed 30 feet down on the old Mumbai-Pune highway.
