A height barrier on the airport‑bound flank of Kolkata's Ultadanga flyover collapsed onto a private car on Tuesday evening, leaving the driver unharmed.

The barrier fell after a medium goods vehicle allegedly rammed into it, failing to judge its height. Traffic police rescued the car driver and handed the goods vehicle and its driver over to Manicktala police for legal action. Vehicular movement on the flyover was suspended for an hour, causing heavy congestion in the Hudco area.
