Freak Accident in my neighbourhood



In the last two months, I have personally witnessed 2 major accidents on the Ring Road at the Raja Garden intersection which is like at 2 min. walking distance from my home.

Day before yesterday at around 2 a.m in the morning there occurred a massive accident at the same place.
I didn't know about it until in the morning my dad came home after his morning walk. He called me and then we went to the site where this disastrous accident which took 2 lives took place.

According to the news and the people who were there the accident involved 4 vehicles. There was no eyewitness so the actual sequence of the event is not certain.

The police said that while a "tempo trailer" was on its way to Narayana to Dhaula kuan, the driver either lost balance or in order to overtake a "small goods carrier"   hit it at the intersection. The impact was so enormous that the goods carrier shoved about a 100 metres and crashed the road driver and literally crushed a Tata Sumo and a motorcycle.

Some pavement dwellers who were sleeping got crushed too. The drivers of the 3 vehicles ran away and 6 people are severely injured and admitted at the DDU hospital.


I took a few picture of the SMASHED tata sumo, the good carrier, the tempo, the thrashed intersection  and the whole "army" of reporter and news channel's vans. 












 

      








This " Freak " accident has left me amazed and i wonder that our life actually has no guarantee at all.. Anything can happen at any point of time and change our lives completely.
