In a tragic road accident in West Delhi's Punjabi Bagh, a speeding DTC bus hit four people, leaving one dead, on Sunday morning.
The accident took place around 10 am when the speeding DTC bus on route 567, from Nangloi to Lajpat Nagar, lost control in West Avenue road, Central Market in Punjabi bagh.
DCP West Vijay Kumar said, "We have booked the driver of the DTC bus Sandeep Kumar under relevant sections. He has primarily been found guilty of rash driving. Further investigation regarding the case is on."
According to eyewitnesses, the bus was over speeding and thus lost its balance.
The bus ran over the pavement where some flower vendors had set up their shops. Before the vendors could move away, the DTC bus' wheels ran over them. Following this, the bus hit a tree and a pole before coming to a halt. Immediately, the place got crowded and the cops were informed.
Soon after this, the cops took the injured to the hospital. There, one of them, Raja Thakur succumbed to his injuries. 22-year-old Raja was a native of Sangrampur in Bihar. The other three are undergoing treatment. The conductor of the bus informed that there were 25 passengers in the bus when the accident happened.
