Lalsot (Dausa). A horrific road accident occurred on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway on Friday. An out-of-control container collided with an LED pole. The collision was so severe that the container exploded with a loud bang and caught fire. The driver died in the accident, burnt alive. The incident took place about one kilometre before the Dungarpur interchange in the Rahuwas police station area. It is being reported that the container was travelling from Uttar Pradesh to Maharashtra when it suddenly lost control on the expressway and collided with an LED pole located near the road.

The fire was so intense that it took about an hour and a half to bring it under control. The flames completely engulfed the container.
