Truck Helper Dies After Iron Rod Falls on Head at Mumbai Construction Site
A 30-year-old man named Amar was working as a helper for a truck driver.
They were delivering some materials to a building site in Mumbai.
While Amar was helping to unload the truck, a heavy iron rod fell from a very tall building, the seventh floor.
Sadly, the rod hit Amar on his head and he was seriously hurt.
He was taken to the hospital, but he did not survive.
The police are investigating why the rod fell.
They think it might be because the construction site did not have safety nets or signs to warn people.
The people in charge of the site may be in trouble for not keeping workers safe.
