While such incidents are not uncommon in the region, the sheer force of the storm made the situation especially dangerous for travelers. The vehicles involved in the accident included a mix of local and tourist cars, which added to the tragedy.
Authorities have initiated an inquiry into the cause of the tree’s fall, with experts citing the heavy rainfall over the previous weeks as a contributing factor in weakening the tree’s roots. Many locals are calling for stronger safety measures to be implemented, such as better surveillance of the region’s trees and regular safety checks for infrastructure.
In the wake of the disaster, there have been increased calls for emergency response teams to be better prepared for such weather-related incidents, with a focus on the safety of the public during the monsoon season.
