A high-speed collision between a Mercedes and a Kia at Yog Circle in Ahmedabad early Saturday left several people with minor injuries and narrowly avoided a major tragedy after one of the vehicles crashed into a roadside puncture shop where two youths were sitting.
How the accident unfolded
According to preliminary information, the Mercedes was travelling from the Karnavati Club Road towards Yog Circle, while the Kia, driven by a woman, was approaching from the Shela side. The Mercedes was reportedly moving at a very high speed when the two vehicles collided at the junction.
Impact of the crash
The collision was so severe that the Kia was flung into a nearby puncture repair shop. The Mercedes suffered extensive front-end damage, with its bonnet completely crumpled, while all airbags in the Kia deployed on impact.
Injuries and narrow escape
Members of the family travelling in the Mercedes sustained minor injuries, while the woman driving the Kia also suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Two youths sitting outside the puncture shop had a miraculous escape as the Kia stopped just metres away from them, preventing a potentially fatal incident.
Police begin probe
Police reached the accident spot soon after the crash and launched an investigation. While the exact cause is yet to be established, preliminary information indicates that overspeeding by the Mercedes may have contributed to the accident. Further action will be taken after the investigation is completed.
