In a shocking incident in Noida’s Sector-49, a Thar jeep plowed into an e-rickshaw at breakneck speed, injuring four people seriously. The crash occurred opposite a private hospital on Monday, highlighting the dangers of urban speeding.
The e-rickshaw, carrying four daily wage workers, was sideswiped from behind by the out-of-control SUV. The impact hurled passengers onto the road, wrecking the electric vehicle completely. Onlookers sprang into action, aiding rescue efforts before professional help arrived.
Sector-49 police cordoned off the area, managing the ensuing gridlock. Identified as Rajesh, Anup, Rakesh, and Omprakash, the victims were admitted to hospital with multiple fractures and internal injuries. Medical teams report two in ICU.
Authorities have taken the SUV driver into custody, suspecting negligence. ‘We’re analyzing black box data and witness statements,’ a senior officer said. The road jam lasted hours, frustrating commuters.
This tragedy has reignited calls for better traffic enforcement in crowded sectors. Residents point to narrow roads and absent speed breakers as culprits. With investigations underway, Noida braces for more revelations on road safety lapses.
