Horrible crashes keep taking place on our roads on a daily basis and people driving under the influence of substances are often involved in these
In a rather tragic incident, a 19-year-old student lost his life on his birthday when a Hyundai Venue he was in, drove into a guard rail. The incident was so brutal that the iron bar entered the vehicle from the front and windshield and came out through the rear glass. Indian roads are full of unfortunate incidents. People often flout traffic regulations and end up in fatal situations. For now, let us delve deep into the specifics of this latest case.
Hyundai Venue Driven into Guard Rail
The news stories are full of the details about this horrendous incident. As per the information available online, 5 students of Delhi University were out celebrating the birthday of one of their friends, Aishwarya Pandey from Etawah, U.P. After having partied all night long, they were returning to their places. At 6 a.m., the driver lost control of the car for some reason and ended up colliding with a guard rail at high speed. In fact, the SUV was so fast that the rail entered the car from the front and came out through the back. Aishwarya was sitting behind the driver.
He sustained severe head injuries due to this metal piece. He was rushed to the Lok Nayak Hospital but succumbed to his injuries. His other friends were injured in this incident but all of them survived the crash. What is particularly heart-breaking about this case is the fact that all 5 students were between the ages of 18 and 19. To encounter such a spine-chilling experience so early on in life is simply tragic. Some reports even suggest that they were under the influence of alcohol. More details will emerge after the Police investigation concludes.
Our View
Unfortunately, we come across tragic accident reports on a daily basis. However, most crashes take place due to the negligence of the driver or people not following traffic regulations. We lose hundreds of thousands of lives each year in such cases. It is high time we start taking traffic protocols seriously. Let us pledge to be responsible drivers and report miscreants who disregard the traffic rules to the authorities. That is the only way to maximize road safety.
