Second Fall From Wazirpur Flyover Raises Safety Concerns
Two men had bad accidents on the Wazirpur Flyover in Delhi in just three days.
The first man, Sourabh, died after falling from the flyover while riding his scooter.
Three days later, another man, Ritik, fell from the same spot and was badly hurt.
Both times, their vehicles slipped through a gap between the lanes of the flyover.
Police say the flyover doesn't have good safety barriers, and the height makes falls very dangerous.
They are checking if the flyover's design is to blame and have asked for stronger barriers and speed breakers to prevent more accidents.
Two accidents occurred on the Wazirpur Flyover in Delhi within three days, resulting in one death and one critical injury.
Both incidents involved motorcycles falling through a gap between lanes due to high-speed turns and inadequate safety barriers.
The first victim, Sourabh (27), died after falling from the flyover on January 5, 2026.
The second victim, Ritik (24), was critically injured in a similar accident on January 8, 2026.
Police are investigating the flyover's design and structure, recommending stronger barriers and speed breakers to enhance safety.
