A day after a hoarding fell in Mumbai which claimed 16 lives, another billboard installed on the roadside collapsed on a stationary mini truck in the Pimpri Chinchwad area of Maharashtra’s Pune district on Thursday due to strong winds, police said.
However, nobody was injured in the incident.
“A 30 x 30 feet hoarding erected on the margin of the road at Jai Ganesh Samrajya chowk in Moshi area collapsed around 4.30 pm. It fell on a stationary tempo truck and a couple of two-wheelers,” an official from the Pimpri Chinchwad police said.
“Fortunately, no injuries were reported as there was nobody inside or on the vehicles,” the official added.
A crane was pressed into service to remove the crashed iron structure, he said.
