No one was injured in the accident, but the juicy mangoes scattered on the road caught the attention of some people. Turning disaster into opportunity, many rushed with baskets and bags to grab the mangoes, as if a free fair had been set up!”

देहरादून के रिस्पना पुल पर एक आम से लदा ट्रक पलट गया। हादसे में किसी को चोट नहीं आई, मगर सड़क पर बिखरे रसीले आमों ने कुछ लोगों की आँखें चमका दीं। आपदा को अवसर बनाते हुए, कई लोग टोकरी-थैले लेकर आम लूटने में जुट गए, मानो मुफ्त का मेला लग गया हो! pic.twitter.com/NTqz8n4DpR

The video went viral, prompting a wave of reactions. “These ignorant people only see opportunity during disaster. When such people choose leaders, they will inevitably engage in corruption,” a user wrote. “India can never become a developed country because of its people,” another user commented.

“Uncivilised people. They should have helped the truck owner,” a third user said.

According to ABC News, a local news outlet, traffic movement was temporarily disrupted due to the accident, but police arrived at the scene and cleared the wreckage.
