Noida case

A 27-year-old software engineer died after his SUV broke through a damaged boundary wall and plunged into a flooded construction pit in Sector 150 of Noida around midnight on Friday, officials reported.

The victim, identified as Yuvraj Mehta, was driving home when the accident occurred near the ATS Le Grandiose housing complex. The incident is believed to have been caused by poor visibility due to dense fog, as well as the lack of street lighting or reflective warning boards on the construction site.

Mehta, who did not know how to swim, managed to climb out of his Grand Vitara and onto the roof of the vehicle in an attempt to stay afloat. He repeatedly flashed his mobile phone torch through the fog and called his father, pleading for help as the car slowly sank.
