Times of India | 4 April 2025
Kolkata: An accident on Maa flyover, near Science City, slowed traffic from about 20 minutes around 11 am on Thursday. According to cops, the driver of a four-wheeler lost concentration and crashed into a lamp post while travelling on the Park Circus-bound lane, causing the car to flip on to its side.
Motorists rescued the man and took him to a hospital, where he was treated and discharged. The accident, however, blocked two lanes, one in each flank.
"For 20 minutes, vehicles moved in single file before we could remove the damaged car. Engine oil had spilled on the road, and sand had to be arranged to ensure that other cars did not skid. The situation normalised around 11.30 am," said an officer from Tiljala traffic guard. — Dwaipayan Ghosh
