While the panic stricken driver of the huge concrete mixer fled the scene, the locals, who rushed the spot after hearing the loud sound, alerted the local traffic officials and Mettuguda police station. There was no loss of life reported from the incident.

The intensity of the crash was such that the huge concrete mixer collided with the median and fell on the middle of the road. With Sunday being a holiday, the usual heavy traffic was not present on the stretch, which gave ample time for the traffic authorities to quickly clear the obstruction.
