New Delhi: The menace of speeding has once again surfaced in the national capital. In the Shalimar Bagh area of North-West Delhi, an out-of-control SUV rammed into four auto-rickshaws parked along the roadside. The impact was so severe that all four auto-rickshaws were left badly damaged. Four people travelling in the SUV sustained injuries in this distressing accident and have been admitted to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Location of the accident and details of the incident
According to reports, the incident occurred near the Prembari Pul flyover, within the jurisdiction of the Shalimar Bagh police station. It is reported that the speeding SUV suddenly went out of the driver’s control and struck the four auto-rickshaws parked on the side of the road.
A silver lining and police investigation
Fortunately, there were no passengers inside the auto-rickshaws at the time of the accident; the four injured individuals were all occupants of the SUV. Had there been passengers in the auto-rickshaws, the consequences could have been far more catastrophic. Upon receiving the information, police from the Shalimar Bagh station arrived at the scene. With the assistance of local residents, the injured were pulled out and transported to a hospital.
The police have initiated an investigation into the damaged vehicles. They are also looking into whether factors such as excessive speed, driver negligence, or driving under the influence of alcohol contributed to the accident. The police are currently examining all aspects of the incident.
