Pune: A recent accident on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway has led to shocking revelations that force us to question the very basis of our humanity. According to reports, a truck loaded with onions fell about 30 feet down from the Valvan Bridge near Lonavala in the early hours of Thursday. Police officials who reached the scene told Hindustan Times that the truck driver seemed to have lost control resulting in the eight-wheeler colliding with the divider before taking a plunge and falling down on the old highway.

As a result, the driver incurred serious injuries and was lying in a pool of blood near the truck.

In the wake of the accident, local residents along with other commuters ran towards the truck but not to help the injured driver. Instead, they were busy collecting the onion sacks which had fallen out of the truck. In fact, locals told the national daily that news of the accident spread like wildfire resulting in residents rushing to the spot of the accident with cloth bags to collect the onions.

Fortunately, police officials arrived at the scene and rushed the driver to a private medical facility at Somatane Phata where he is currently being treated for injuries incurred as a result of the accident. Meanwhile, the highway was later cleared of the debris by Ideal Road Builders (IRB) officials. It was also reported that the Lonavala police are mulling over filing a case of theft against unidentified persons who stole the onions from the truck.
