In recent news, the Khanna area of Ludhiana witnessed a series of accidents that resulted in one fatality and sixteen injuries. The accidents were caused by low visibility due to fog on the Ludhiana-Delhi National Highway. Vehicles including buses, trucks, Innovas, and cars were involved in the multiple pile-ups. Thirteen patients were discharged after receiving first aid, while two individuals suffered rib fractures and one sustained a hip fracture.

Meanwhile, a recent report by the Delhi Traffic Police revealed that 91% of road accident victims in Delhi in 2022 were men. The data highlights the need for improved road engineering, including proper signage and curvature, to prevent accidents. Pedestrians and motorcyclists were found to be the most vulnerable, accounting for the majority of fatalities and injuries. The report also emphasizes the importance of using safety equipment such as helmets, seat belts, and child restraints to reduce the risk of injuries and deaths.

In a separate incident, four people were severely injured and five vehicles were damaged when an SUV driven by a businessman crashed into three bikes, a car, and an auto in Bengaluru. The incident, captured on dashcam video, went viral on social media. The driver claimed that it was an accidental acceleration instead of braking while attempting a U-turn. Authorities are currently investigating the condition of the road and the vehicle, with blood samples showing no signs of alcohol in the driver’s system.

As road accidents continue to claim lives and cause injuries, it is crucial for both drivers and pedestrians to prioritize safety on the roads. Adhering to traffic rules, maintaining proper vehicle maintenance, and staying alert while driving are essential steps to prevent such tragic incidents. Authorities and officials must also continue their efforts to improve road infrastructure and implement effective road safety measures to protect the lives of all road users..
