Speeding BMW runs over woman in Delhi, villagers block road near T-3 terminal

A 70-year-old woman was killed in a head-on collision between a Mercedes and a WagonR in Delhi’s Narela area on Saturday morning. The incident occurred at approximately 8 am near the Himalayas Apartment in the Mamurpur locality. The woman, identified as Urmila, was found caught between the two vehicles and sustained fatal injuries, dying at the scene. The WagonR driver suffered minor injuries and was treated medically, while no other serious injuries were reported. The collision sent the WagonR backward, causing it to strike a nearby three-wheeler loading van. Local police confirmed that a team from the Narela police station arrived at the location promptly and began an investigation. They stated that the area was surveyed and that the circumstances leading to the crash are currently under examination. A case related to the fatal road accident is being registered at the Narela police station. The woman’s body has been sent for a post-mortem, and investigators are looking into the sequence of events preceding the crash. This includes the positioning and movement of all three vehicles involved. Statements from the drivers and witnesses are expected to be collected as part of the probe. Additionally, CCTV footage from the surrounding area is being reviewed to determine the speed and trajectory of the Mercedes and WagonR prior to the collision. Authorities aim to establish whether any traffic violations or other contributing factors played a role in the incident. In a separate incident, six individuals from Vadodara in Gujarat lost their lives when a trailer traveling on the wrong side of the road collided with their car in Madhya Pradesh. The accident happened on Sunday afternoon near Panchkawasa village in Dhar district on the Badnawar-Ujjain four-lane road. The victims were returning to Gujarat after visiting the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain. Preliminary reports indicate that the trailer struck the car with such force that it was completely destroyed, killing all six occupants instantly. One person sustained critical injuries and was rescued by local residents and transported to the Civil Hospital in Badnawar for treatment. Police confirmed that the deceased were all residents of Vadodara, and officials have informed their families about the accident. The Badnawar police station in-charge, Amit Singh Kushwah, and Tehsildar Suresh Nagar arrived at the scene shortly after being notified. The bodies were removed from the wreckage and sent to the Badnawar Civil Hospital mortuary. Once post-mortems are completed and formal procedures are followed, the bodies will be returned to the families. The incident disrupted traffic on the four-lane road for a period, though it was eventually restored. An ongoing investigation seeks to uncover the conditions that led to the collision, particularly focusing on the trailer’s deviation onto the incorrect lane. Another tragic occurrence unfolded in Delhi’s Mehram Nagar area on Tuesday, where a 48-year-old woman named Jaiwanti was killed after being struck by a speeding BMW. The accident happened around noon when she was crossing the road at a zebra crossing to return home for lunch. The impact was severe, resulting in her death at the scene. Police received a PCR call regarding the incident and quickly responded. They discovered Jaiwanti had been moved to DDU Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The BMW driver, identified as 38-year-old Deepak from Pratap Nagar in Mandoli, was arrested. He had been working as a driver for six months and was reportedly returning from the airport alone when the accident occurred. Following the incident, local residents and Jaiwanti’s family protested by blocking the road near Terminal 3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport, causing disruptions in traffic flow. Heavy police presence, including paramilitary forces, was deployed to manage the situation. Jaiwanti’s family expressed outrage, alleging that the driver fled the scene initially. They emphasized the need for justice and legal action against the driver, citing previous complaints about speeding vehicles in the area. The family highlighted that Jaiwanti had been a crucial support figure after her son passed away five years ago. They argued that timely medical attention could have potentially saved her life. Authorities have registered a case and initiated legal proceedings against the driver. The incident has prompted discussions about the safety measures in the area, with calls for improved infrastructure such as speed breakers or traffic signals to prevent similar tragedies. The road closure near Terminal 3 affected commuters, prompting traffic police to advise alternative routes to mitigate congestion. As investigations continue, the focus remains on determining the full extent of the driver’s actions and ensuring appropriate consequences are met.
