A major accident occurred on Sunday morning on the Arrah-Sasaram main road at Sahila Pul, under the Garhani police station area of Bhojpur district. An uncontrolled tipper truck broke through the bridge's railing and plunged into the river. The driver of the tipper truck was seriously injured in the accident.

The incident caused chaos at the scene, and local villagers immediately began rescue operations. According to information, the tipper truck was traveling from Piro towards Arrah. Upon reaching Sahila Pul, the driver lost control of the vehicle, causing it to break the bridge's railing and fall directly into the river. Villagers present nearby promptly arrived at the scene and, after considerable effort, pulled the injured driver out of the vehicle. He was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment, where his condition is reported to be critical.

Local residents state that Sahila Pul is very narrow, and there is often a risk of accidents during vehicle movement on it. Villagers mentioned that several vehicles have previously fallen from this bridge, yet no concrete steps have been taken for its widening or improving safety measures. Residents have demanded that the administration promptly widen Sahila Pul, repair the damaged railing, enhance security, and take necessary steps to control vehicle speeds. They emphasize that in light of the continuous accidents, the concerned department should seriously address the bridge's safety.
