A car travelling at roughly 200 km per hour struck the wall of a tunnel on the Dwarka Expressway in Delhi, killing the 22‑year‑old occupant.
Police officials said a private vehicle entered the Dwarka Expressway tunnel near the Delhi‑Gurgaon border at an estimated speed of 200 kilometres per hour. The car collided with the concrete wall of the tunnel, causing severe impact.
Emergency services reached the scene within minutes, but the driver, a 22‑year‑old male, was pronounced dead at the spot. No other occupants or pedestrians were reported injured.
Preliminary investigations point to excessive speed as the primary cause of the accident. Authorities have launched a forensic examination of the vehicle and the tunnel’s safety features, and a case has been registered under the Indian Penal Code for dangerous driving.
The incident has prompted calls for stricter speed monitoring on the newly constructed expressway, which is a key artery for commuters between Delhi and the National Capital Region.
Further details will be released as the investigation progresses.
