Mangaluru : A trailer truck, negotiating a U-turn at Sharbath Katte junction on airport road ended up obstructing traffic during peak hours after the driver failed to negotiate the turn.
Vehicles were seen lined up on both sides of the road as the truck blocked the passage of the vehicles. Several people on the way to the airport were also stranded because of the thoughtlessness of the driver.
The police arrived on the spot, and attempts to move the truck away and pave way for smooth movement of traffic are going on.
The traffic is blocked since long. The road users have urged the authorities concerned not to allow heavy vehicles to move on important roads during peak hours. Such trucks create nuisance particularly for people using airport road who are in a hurry to reach airport, government offices, schools, hospitals etc on time.
