Two people lost their lives after a road accident on the Bhalswa flyover in New Delhi, officials said on Monday. The incident occurred when two vehicles collided at high speed, leading to a severe impact that left both occupants critically injured.
According to preliminary information from the police, the accident took place late at night when one vehicle reportedly lost control while approaching a curve on the flyover and crashed into another vehicle coming from the opposite direction. The force of the collision caused major damage to both vehicles.
Emergency services rushed to the spot soon after receiving information from passers-by. The injured individuals were immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared both of them dead on arrival.
Police have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the accident. Officials are examining whether overspeeding, reckless driving, or poor visibility may have contributed to the crash. CCTV footage from nearby stretches of the flyover is also being reviewed as part of the inquiry.
Traffic movement on the flyover was briefly disrupted following the accident but was later restored after the damaged vehicles were removed from the road. Authorities have urged commuters to exercise caution while using the stretch, especially during night hours.
Local residents have raised concerns over frequent accidents in the area, pointing to issues such as high traffic speed, inadequate lighting, and lack of strict enforcement of traffic rules. They have called for improved safety measures, including better signage and increased patrolling.
Police officials have assured that necessary action will be taken after the investigation is completed. They also appealed to drivers to follow speed limits and traffic regulations to avoid such tragic incidents.
The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination, and the families of the deceased have been informed. Further details are awaited as the investigation continues.
