A major road accident occurred in the early hours of Sunday on Ahmedabad airport road near Dafnala crossroads, leaving four individuals injured, including an auto-rickshaw driver. The mishap took place around 3 am when a high-speed car lost control, jumped the road divider, and rammed into an oncoming auto-rickshaw. Another car was also damaged in the accident.
According to police officials, the vehicle was travelling at a considerable speed when the driver lost control near the Dafnala junction. The car reportedly struck the divider, overturned, and crashed into the auto from the opposite direction. The impact was so severe that the car turned turtle, its engine was dislodged, and it subsequently caught fire.
Three passengers in the car — identified as Parth Mevada, Yash Amin, and Amit Bharwad — sustained injuries in the accident, along with the yet-to-be-identified auto-rickshaw driver. All four were immediately rushed to Asarwa Civil Hospital for medical treatment.
Fortunately, bystanders and passers-by managed to rescue the car’s occupants before the vehicle caught fire. The Shahibaug police and fire brigade officials responded swiftly to the incident, managing to douse the flames and secure the area. An investigation has been launched to ascertain the exact cause of the accident.
Officials have confirmed that statements will be recorded once the injured are declared fit to provide details. Police are also reviewing CCTV footage from the area to piece together the sequence of events.
No complaint was registered till reports last came in.
