Son's fear saved life in Morbi accident: If the 9-year-old's eye had not cried, then the whole family would have drowned in the Machhu river

In Gujarat's Morbi, 135 people died when the suspension bridge collapsed on Sunday evening, while many people are still missing. Many families were destroyed in the accident. While some families were also lucky, who got off the bridge just before the accident, which saved their lives. Among them, there is also a family of Sagar Mehta, who lives in Amreli, who got down from the bridge just before the accident due to the crying of his son.

About half an hour before the Morbi accident, we had reached the Jhulta bridge. We were all having fun, but because of the shaking of the bridge, my little son Netra got scared and started crying. During this we also took selfies. When the son did not stop crying, we got down and went to another place.

It must have been hardly 10 minutes that we got the news of the bridge collapse. When we heard that all the people on the bridge had fallen into the Machhu river, we all got goosebumps because we had seen for ourselves how crowded the bridge was at that time.

Sagar Bhai further said, 'Due to Sunday's holiday, I went to the house of a relative living in Morbi with my wife and both sons. Then our plan was made to roam on the bridge. Two relatives were also together. Only 5 minutes after the accident, we started receiving calls from relatives. It was from him that the news of the bridge collapse was received. The accident happened about 10 minutes after we got off the bridge.
