Hoarding crashes in Maha's Kalyan, several vehicles crushed, no casualties
The incident occurred around 10.30 a.m. in the busy square with strong winds blowing in the rain-lashed region.
A huge hoarding erected at one corner of the road got uprooted and collapsed on the road and a couple of cars and three to four two-wheelers that were parked there, eyewitnesses said, including a shaken one who had just parked his car and stepped out barely a couple of minutes before.
The Kalyan Fire Brigade has rushed to the spot along with the police to carry out a relief operation and there are no details of any casualties in the mishap, even as a large crowd gathered and resulted in a traffic jam there.
It may be recalled that on May 13, a massive hoarding weighing around 250 tons had crashed on a petrol pump and some homes in Mumbai’s Ghatkopar suburb, killing at least 17 persons and injuring more than 80 people plus crushing scores of big and small vehicles.
