Four people, including the truck driver, were rescued safely from the three vehicles. The truck was going to load apples at Parala Market.
 
Recent rains almost crippled vehicular traffic in the state, as most roads were affected. The NH-5 is closed for heavy vehicles at Chakimod, near Dharmpur in Solan district.
 
Apple season has just started in the state and is likely to continue until October. The state administration and Traffic police are facing a number of problems this season, including marketing and transportation. (UNI)
