NEW DELHI: The city witnessed four accidents in the past 24 hours that left two persons dead and four others seriously injured.
In the first incident on Saturday night reported from the Kanjhawala area of outer Delhi, one person died while another was injured when the car they were travelling in collided with a truck. According to eyewitnesses, the truck was travelling on the wrong side.
"A 35-year-old property dealer was killed, while his friend was critically injured, when a truck rammed into their Chevrolet Beat car last night at Kanjhawala,'' said a senior police officer. According to the police, Sunil and his friend were coming from Kutubgarh and were heading towards Kanjhawala .
"The incident occurred at 10.15 pm, near a petrol pump located close to the Divya Ashram," added the officer. A passerby reported the incident to the police, who took Sunil and his friend to the Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital. Doctors there declared Sunil as brought dead upon his arrival.
"His friend was unfit to give us a statement. His family shifted him to another hospital," said the officer. According to the police, the truck driver had fled without his vehicle. The truck has been impounded and its owner has been contacted by the police.
A case under IPC section 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way), section 337 (causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others) and section 304A (causing death by negligence) has been registered against the truck driver.
In another accident, a nine-year-old girl was killed near Terminal 3 of the IGI Airport when a tempo driver ran over her while she was playing on the road.
"The tempo driver Kamlesh has been arrested. The girl died on the spot. She was a resident of Naraina,'' police said, adding that Kamlesh was nabbed by the eyewitnesses themselves. They said a case of death due to rash and negligent driving has been registered.
In the other two accidents at Bawana and Rana Pratap Bagh, the drivers lost control of the vehicle and they hit a tree and a road divider respectively.
In the first incident, both the driver and her female friend were taken to a local hospital where the driver left leaving the female victim alone. In the second incident, cops believe that the steering wheel of the car had jammed leading to the accident.
