Unfortunately, overturned lorries are all too common in India. Overburdened cargo, old trucks, poor maintenance, and drunk driving are all factors which contribute to trucking accidents. As recently as 2010, India reportedly had the highest number of road accidents in the world. There are also multiple reports of hit-and-run incidents since many accidents occur on desolated highways. Often, the cause is drunk driving. And although there are laws against drunk driving, there is little police enforcement, judicial consequences, and hardly any efforts to rectify the problem.
