Three Die After Tempo Hits Live Wire Amid Gujarat Floods
In Gujarat, India, a heavy rainstorm made roads slippery and hard to see.
A small truck carrying farm workers was driving near a village called Gandevi.
The truck hit a live electric wire that was hanging above the road.
Three people in the truck were shocked and died.
Two more people were hurt and taken to a hospital.
Because of the flooding, about 2000 people had to leave their homes.
Three people died of electrocution when a tempo truck hit a live high‑tension wire in Gandevi village, Navsari district, Gujarat.
Heavy rain on Friday caused poor visibility and flooding in the region.
Two other passengers were critically injured and transported to a hospital in Kharel.
Gandevi police inspector N I Rathod said the downpours likely contributed to the accident.
Around 2000 residents were evacuated due to the flooding.
