A car that smashed through a divider on a Delhi road collided with an SUV, leaving six people injured, including two state legislators.
A motor vehicle rammed through a concrete divider on a busy Delhi thoroughfare and struck an SUV, causing a multi‑vehicle collision. The crash occurred during peak traffic hours, prompting immediate blockage of the lane and chaos at the scene.
The impact left six occupants wounded, among them two sitting members of the Delhi Legislative Assembly. Both legislators were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of non‑life‑threatening injuries, while the other four victims, including the drivers of both vehicles, were also admitted for observation.
Delhi police arrived promptly, securing the area, directing traffic, and launching an investigation into possible causes such as speeding or driver negligence. A forensic team is expected to examine the vehicles and the divider to determine why the car breached the barrier. The incident underscores growing concerns over road safety in the capital.
Authorities have urged commuters to exercise caution and adhere to speed limits, especially in congested zones where infrastructure failures can lead to severe accidents.
Further updates will be provided as the police investigation progresses.
