NH-66 Under Construction Collapses at Kooriyad, Injuring Motorists
A section of a new highway that was being built fell down near Kooriyad.
This caused some cars to be damaged and a few people got hurt.
The part of the road that fell was high up, and it landed on the road below.
People are worried because the area where the road is being built is low and could be unstable.
Officials are looking into why this happened, and the road will be fixed, but it will take a few days.
