Two heavily intoxicated men from Rajkot rammed their speeding car into a couple on a moped in Ahmedabad’s Nana Chiloda area on Wednesday afternoon, sparking public outrage after locals discovered liquor bottles inside the vehicle.

The collision took place on November 11, leaving the front bumper, windshield, and number plate of the offending car completely shattered. Eyewitnesses rushed to the spot immediately after the crash and found both occupants visibly drunk.

Locals Intervene Before Police Arrival

Furious over the reckless driving in a dry state, bystanders confronted the duo and thrashed them before alerting the authorities. Videos of the confrontation and the damaged vehicle quickly began circulating on social media platforms.

A team from the Naroda police station arrived at the scene shortly after receiving the distress call and took both men into custody. Officers noted that the accused were barely able to stand upright and reeked of alcohol when brought to the station.

Police have registered an offence against the driver for rash driving, causing an accident, and violating Gujarat’s prohibition laws. Further investigation is underway to determine how the duo procured the alcohol.

Minor Behind the Wheel Crashes Car into AMC Tractor

In a separate incident highlighting growing road safety concerns across the city, a speeding car driven by a minor collided with an Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) tractor on the Bhat-Motera road.

The civic vehicle was stationed near the road divider, watering trees, when the car slammed into it at high speed. The impact mangled the front portion of the car completely.

Bystanders were left alarmed upon discovering that a young child, rather than an adult, was at the wheel. The crash has renewed sharp criticism from residents regarding parents handing over vehicle keys to underage drivers on busy city stretches.
