2 accidents paralyse traffic flow at Gulem

Canacona: Traffic was disrupted along the Gulem stretch at Canacona after two trucks and a car were involved in two separate accidents within 12 hours on Friday.
In the first incident that occurred late Thursday night, a car and a truck collided head-on which resulted in a traffic jam for nearly six hours.
The second accident took place at about 8am on Friday when a truck rammed into a roadside tree, partially blocking vehicular movement for almost the entire day.
Police said that the loaded inter-state truck travelling from Margao towards Karnataka was negotiating a slope when it veered and hit a roadside tree near Bhumipurush temple at Gulem. Though the driver escaped with minor injuries, the truck came to a halt after hitting the tree and missed falling into a gorge.
Authorities concerned arrived at the spot around 10am, said the driver.
