Mangalore : A truck laden with fish overturned on the road between Kuntikan and KPT in the wee hours of February 15, Friday, spilling thousands of sardines on the road. Meanwhile, locals had great time picking the fish and filling their bags.
The driver Riyaz and cleaner Najeeb however escaped with minor injuries. The lorry carrying 195 boxes of sardine was proceeding towards Malpe from Kozhikode in Kerala. Reports said the driver lost control over the vehicle which skid due to the slippery road, thanks to the rains last night.
Whatever it is, locals had a great time picking the fish and taking it home.
