Bengaluru: In an incident that reportedly occurred early on Friday, a fire broke out in the aftermath of a gruesome road accident after two Lorries got into a head-on collision resulting in an individual dying in the fire before the Bhukti Dhaba at the National Highway 7 near Devanahalli in Bengaluru Rural District.
A Lorry was reportedly travelling in full speed transporting cement from Chikkaballapura and heading towards Bengaluru when the driver of the vehicle lost control of the Lorry in front of Bhukti Dhaba and crashed into the road divider. After having crossed over beyond the divider, the Lorry is said to have crashed into another Lorry on that side of the road which was coming from Bengaluru and heading towards Chikkaballapura. The impact of the collision reportedly caused one of the Lorry to roll over, while a fire broke in the other Lorry. In a matter of moments, the fire is said to have engulfed both Lorries, resulting in the death of a Lorry driver who was burned alive in the fire, it is learned.
The Fire Brigade service who reportedly arrived at the site put out the fire.

Vijayapura: Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal has denied making any derogatory statement about Prophet Muhammad, clarifying that there was a misstatement during his speech at a Ram Navami event in Hubballi. "I did not speak about Prophet Muhammad. I meant to refer to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, but there was a mistake in the speed of speech," he said addressing reporters on Monday.
He alleged that members of the Congress, frustrated by their hooliganism and failure to collect their hafta (extortion) in Vijayapura are using the Prophet as an excuse to speak against me. “There is no culture of denigrating another religion in Hinduism. Our gurus and elders have not taught us that,” he said.
Responding to another controversy involving an audio clip in which he was allegedly threatened, Yatnal said the police are investigating the matter and that those behind it will soon be exposed. “No one can finish me. The Hindus of Karnataka are with me. If someone tries to finish me, the whole state will rise in protest,” he warned.
