Kolkata, Nov. 10 -- A private car driver escaped unhurt after the height barrier of the airport-bound flank of the Ultadanga flyover collapsed and fell on his vehicle on Tuesday evening.

A medium goods vehicle moving ahead allegedly rammed into the iron barrier after failing to judge its height.

Traffic police rescued the car driver and handed over the goods vehicle and its driver to Manicktala police for legal action. Vehicular movement on the flyover remained suspended for an hour, triggering massive congestion in the Hudco area.
