In a heart-wrenching incident in Nashik, Maharashtra, a woman tragically lost her life after being struck by a speeding car in the Gangapur area on Tuesday. The horrifying incident, captured on CCTV, showed the woman being flung nearly 15-20 meters into the air after being hit from behind by a white hatchback. Despite efforts by witnesses to rush to her aid, the driver abandoned the scene, leaving the victim critically injured.
The victim, whose identity has not yet been publicly disclosed, was swiftly taken to a nearby hospital but, devastatingly, succumbed to her injuries shortly after arrival. The callous nature of the hit-and-run has sparked outrage among locals, echoing recent incidents of reckless driving and road fatalities across Maharashtra.
This tragic event comes in the wake of heightened public sensitivity following a similar incident involving a speeding BMW in Mumbai, which claimed the life of a 45-year-old woman just days ago. In that case, Mihir Shah, son of politician Rajesh Shah, was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run that shocked the nation. CCTV footage revealed Shah’s attempt to conceal the incident by swapping seats with his driver before fleeing the scene, a harrowing act that led to widespread condemnation and subsequent arrests.
The Nashik incident underscores ongoing concerns over road safety and the enforcement of traffic laws in Maharashtra. Authorities have launched a manhunt for the driver responsible for the latest tragedy, with hopes of bringing swift justice to the victim’s family. The police have already apprehended two suspects in connection with the case, intensifying efforts to ensure accountability for the reckless actions that led to this loss of life.
As investigations continue, the community mourns the loss of yet another life due to irresponsible driving. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the critical need for stringent measures to prevent such tragedies on Maharashtra’s roads, urging authorities to redouble efforts in enforcing road safety regulations and holding offenders accountable.
