NDTV
Local police rushed to secure the area soon after the incident before the scattered tomatoes could trigger a looting spree.
A truck carrying 18 tonnes of tomatoes overturned on the highway in Uttar Pradesh late Tuesday night, leading to a chaotic scene as the produce scattered across the road. To stop nearby villagers from pilfering the tomatoes, currently selling at Rs 100 a kilo, policemen kept watch all night.
The incident took place near Kanpur around 10 PM. A woman, Sonal, who was riding a scooter, was injured. She was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The truck driver, Arjun, said he was transporting the tomatoes from Bengaluru to Delhi. The vehicle flipped when he swerved to avoid a cow on the road. "No one was seriously injured," Arjun said. "My helper suffered minor injuries, but the woman behind us collided with the truck and got hurt."
He took to X to share his distress, describing the situation as "painful to watch" especially since he was in the US and unable to personally intervene.
