A horrifying accident in Delhi’s Rohini area has left one person dead and another injured as a speeding bus went on a rampage, colliding with several cars and scooters. The shocking incident was captured by CCTV cameras and has raised questions about road safety in the city.
The incident unfolded around 2.45 pm near Vishram Chowk in Awantika, as a speeding electric bus wreaked havoc on the streets. One video footage shows the bus dragging a car, an e-rickshaw, and a bike in its path of destruction. Before coming to a halt, it also crashed into multiple scooters parked alongside the pavement.
Another video captured bystanders fleeing for cover as the bus plowed into bicycles and scooters, creating chaos and panic among onlookers. Stunned witnesses rushed to the scene, their hands clasped in disbelief, to check on those affected by the bus’s rampage.
Tragically, one person lost their life on the spot, while another sustained injuries. According to the police, it appears that the bus driver lost control of the vehicle, leading to this catastrophic accident. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of public transportation and the need for stricter measures to prevent such mishaps.
Law enforcement authorities have taken the bus driver into custody and initiated an investigation to determine the circumstances and factors that contributed to this tragic accident. It remains a top priority to ascertain whether negligence, mechanical issues, or other factors played a role in the incident.
This unfortunate incident serves as a somber reminder of the importance of road safety and the need for both drivers and public transportation operators to exercise caution and adhere to traffic regulations. Delays in investigating and addressing these concerns can have devastating consequences, as seen in this incident.
The Delhi incident bears a resemblance to a previous incident where a 36-year-old man lost his life when a DTC bus rammed into two e-rickshaws and a fruit-cart puller in East Delhi. The driver had initially fled the scene but was later apprehended by the police.
As the investigation into the Rohini accident unfolds, the authorities are expected to take necessary steps to prevent such incidents and ensure the safety of the city’s residents.
