According to OC, PS Itanagar, Phassang Simi, the truck bearing registration no AS01 MC6C 5434 was being pulled by another truck with a rope as it was in immovable condition.

“As both the trucks were moving up ahead after crossing Zero-point tinali, the rope which was pulling the second truck broke making it slide down the path damaging many vehicles on the way. The truck finally stopped near KFC,” he said.
