Jharsuguda: Three truck drivers were charred to death as the vehicles burst into flames after a crash near Sadar Police Station on NH-49 in Odisha’s Jharsuguda district late on Wednesday.
According to sources, the accident took place around 1 am when a Belpahad-bound trailer, a hyva and another truck collided with each other. The vehicles are suspected to have caught fire owing to an electrical short circuit. One of trucks was reportedly laden with coal.
