A horrific road accident claimed one life in the early hours of Tuesday on Delhi's busy Park Street Flyover near the Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT). The tragic incident occurred when a speeding car rammed into a stationary truck, leading to devastating consequences.
Early Morning Tragedy Strikes Delhi Flyover
According to Delhi Police officials, the collision took place around 3:30 AM when the car, traveling at high speed, failed to notice the parked truck on the flyover. The impact of the crash was so severe that the car suffered extensive damage, particularly to the front portion where the driver was seated.
Emergency Response and Rescue Efforts
Emergency services rushed to the scene immediately after receiving information about the accident. Fire department personnel worked diligently to cut open the mangled vehicle and rescue the occupants. Despite their best efforts, one person succumbed to their injuries at the scene.
Police Investigation Underway
Law enforcement authorities have launched a comprehensive investigation to determine the exact cause of the accident. Preliminary reports suggest that the truck was improperly parked on the flyover, creating a hazardous situation for other vehicles. However, officials are also examining whether the car driver was speeding or distracted at the time of the incident.
Growing Concerns Over Road Safety
This tragic event has once again highlighted the critical issue of road safety in Delhi. The Park Street Flyover, being a crucial connector to the ISBT, witnesses heavy traffic throughout the day and night. Such accidents raise serious questions about:

This developing story underscores the urgent need for improved road safety measures and stricter enforcement of traffic regulations across Delhi's infrastructure network.
