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.

New Delhi (PTI): The meeting between a Trinamool Congress delegation and the full bench of the Election Commission on Wednesday culminated on an acrimonious note, with the TMC saying the panel's chief asked them to "get lost" at the end of the seven-minute meeting, while the EC accused them of "shouting".
After the meeting, TMC's Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien told mediapersons that they handed over letters from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, and also apprised him of specific instances of poll officials having links with the BJP.
"Then he said, 'Get lost'. We have done eight to nine meetings with the Election Commission. Apart from the CEC, none of the other election commissioners spoke," O'Brien said.
"While we were walking out, one of my colleagues congratulated Gyanesh Kumar for being the only CEC to have notices moved in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for his removal," O'Brien MP said.
Meanwhile, sources in the Election Commission said the poll panel chief gave a "straight talk" to TMC leaders.
They accused O'Brien of shouting at the election commissioners and alleged that he asked the CEC not to speak.
The EC sources further said the elections in West Bengal would be "fear-free, violence-free, intimidation-free, and inducement-free."
