Viral Video: Lorry carrying ‘Scrap Plane’ causes traffic snarls in Bihar 

In an unusual sight for pedestrians and motorists, a scrapped airplane got stuck in the middle of the road in Bihar’s Motihari on Friday. 

The scrapped plane was being transported by a trailer truck to Assam from Mumbai. The police report suggests that the lorry driver miscalculated the height of the overbridge.

The driver misjudged the clearance between the overbridge and the height of the cargo on the vehicle. Consequently, the cargo became wedged beneath the overbridge.

However, eyewitnesses said that the plane remained stuck under the bridge for over an hour, leading to heavy traffic snarls on NH-27. A video of the same also went viral on social media showing one lane of the highway completely clogged by vehicles as the stretch was blocked.

A similar incident took place last year in November when the body of an airplane got struck on the underpass of a road near Korisapadu in the Bapatla district of Andhra Pradesh when the plane was en route from Kochi to Hyderabad.
