A cement-laden truck overturned at the Kumarhatti flyover on the Solan-Dharampur section of the National Highway-5 when the driver applied brakes after a boulder rolled down from the hills near a hotel amid rainfall.

The vehicle lost control after its front wheel came in contact with the boulder and overturned at the flyover, creating a traffic jam. Driver Satish Dubey and cleaner sustained minor injuries in the mishap and were taken to a nearby medical facility, said SP, Solan, Gaurav Singh.

The truck had a Haryana registration number (HR 55A-K8855) and was en route to Narkanda-Bengaluru when the mishap occurred. The truck was lifted from the highway using a crane for smooth vehicular traffic.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
