Gujarat : At least 30 of marriage party killed as truck falls off bridge

As many as 31 people of a wedding party, including the parents of the bridegroom and two children, lost their lives in a tragic road accident near Bhavnagar when a truck in which they were travelling fell off a bridge near Ranghola village.

The bridge, that falls on the newly completed Rajkot-Bhavnagar Highway, has been under construction for over five years.

The groom, Jay, survived the



accident as he was travelling in a separate vehicle.

He was later married in a simple ceremony, even as his relatives had kept him in the dark about the accident.

Gujarat Home Minister Pradeepsinh Jaedja informed the ongoing Legislative Assembly that the truck was ferrying around 60 people, mostly women and children en route to a wedding from Aniyali village to Tatam village.
