Accident holds up traffic on highway

Dera Bassi, July 16

Traffic was thrown out of gear on the Ambala-Chandigarh highway this afternoon following an accident involving two cars near Bhankarpur. Commuters heading towards Chandigarh were a harried lot as they got stuck in traffic snarls for nearly an hour. A Honda City car (DL 8C DP 1111) and a Duster  (DL 8C AF 7672) were heading in the same direction towards Delhi around 2 pm when the Honda car driver lost control over the vehicle and hit the Duster. Eyewitnesses said the Honda car hit the median and veered on to the other side of the highway. Nobody was injured in the accident. —  OC
