In a separate incident, a serious accident was narrowly avoided on the Abohar-Hanumangarh bypass when two stray bulls fought, causing one to collide with a car driven by Davinder Singh. The bull fell onto the car’s roof, but the airbags deployed, allowing Davinder’s wife to escape with minor injuries.
