In a shocking turn of events on Delhi’s bustling Ring Road, a doctor’s car slammed into an e-rickshaw, leading to the driver’s death and injuries to five passengers near Narang Eye Hospital. The crash happened at approximately 6 PM Friday, flipping the rickshaw and scattering victims.
Eyewitnesses and police reports indicate the i20 car’s driver, Dr. Siddharth—a Rohini resident and senior radiologist at GB Pant Hospital—ferried the injured to Vinayak Hospital promptly. Tragically, 36-year-old rickshaw operator Nagendra did not survive his wounds. The other victims, comprising two women and three kids, are stable.
Law enforcement has impounded the vehicle, tested the doctor medically, and initiated case proceedings. This incident echoes a similar horror just 24 hours prior on Vikas Marg in Shakarpur, where a high-speed car struck a bike at 1:30 AM, resulting in one death and three injuries. Locals apprehended the accused, and victims were treated at Hedgewar Hospital.
As investigations proceed, these back-to-back accidents expose Delhi’s perilous traffic conditions. Experts call for advanced surveillance, speed checks, and driver training to curb such needless losses on the city’s arteries.
