Assam-bound scrapped plane stuck under bridge in Bihar

Guwahati: A scrapped plane on its way to Assam got stuck under a bridge in Bihar's Motihari on Friday, bringing traffic to a grinding halt.

The incident occurred when the trailer truck carrying the plane misjudged the height of the Piprakothi overbridge and attempted to pass beneath, leaving the aeroplane wedged precariously.

The sight quickly drew a crowd of curious onlookers, eager to witness this unusual spectacle.

A video of the scene, now viral on social media, shows the aeroplane protruding from the truck, effectively blocking a lane on NH 27.
