On Thursday morning, a horrible accident took place where a speeding BMW car rammed into an e-rickshaw in proximity to Sumitra Hospital in Sector 24 of the Gautam Buddh Nagar district. Despite the efforts of medical professionals, the accident unfortunately resulted in the deaths of two people and left three more individuals with critical and painful injuries. The incident took place at around 6 this morning when the e-rickshaw which was carrying five people, was hit from behind by the speeding BMW car.


From the Noida City Centre, the e-rickshaw was travelling to head towards the Noida Sector 12-22 region. "All the injured victims were immediately admitted to the hospital, where two persons were declared dead during the treatment, while three of them are undergoing treatment in a private hospital in Noida Sector 110," the police told ANI. The two deceased people have been identified as Mohammad Mustafa (50), and Rashmi (25), a staff nurse, at Metro Hospital, while the injured people include Rajendra (45), a resident of Gijhore, and also the driver himself, Pawan (27), and Suraj (20).


Per and ANI report, the driver of the BMW, Tushar, and his associate, Adi, have been taken into custody by the Noida Police. But their friend, Aman Sisodia, was able to get away. "The accused are all identified as residents of Sector 41, within the jurisdiction of Sector 39 police station," stated the police. "We have detained the accused and are actively working to apprehend the one who fled." The police stated that more inquiries were being conducted.


This adds to the extensive and depressingly long list of road accidents that occur in Delhi NCR on a daily basis. Over a thousand accident cases are reported in the national capital region, mostly causing deaths and fatal injuries to people. This also underlines the alarmingly urgent need for better awareness and driver’s training, not only in Delhi but everywhere in India, to mitigate such careless accidents in the future.
