Mansoor M., owner of the truck, told The Hindu that the accident occurred due to landslips. The truck was carrying 400 sheets of plywood from Mangaluru to Bengaluru.
The stretch is one of the major links between the coastal region of Karnataka and the State capital Bengaluru. Nearly 25,000 vehicles use the road every day. Multiple landslips have been reported on Shiradi Ghat in this week.
Following heavy rains and landslides on the Western Ghats, train services between Bengaluru and Mangaluru are no longer taking the route via Shiradi Ghat. Trains have been diverted to other routes.
