DDA blames speeding for student's fatal car crash
A young student named Yashvendra was driving a car in Delhi when it went too fast and crashed into a big hole in the road filled with water.
The people who check roads in Delhi said the car was going too fast, which made it slip and fall into the hole.
The student sadly died in the crash.
An eyewitness said there was no protective wall or barrier to prevent vehicles from falling into the drain.
He urged the authorities to take corrective measures before the onset of winter when dense fog reduces visibility.
A 20-year-old student named Yashvendra died after driving a car into an open drain in Southwest Delhi.
The DDA's investigation found that the car was speeding, causing it to skid and overturn.
An earlier request to install speed breakers on Nangal Dewat Road was deemed not feasible by the traffic police.
Eyewitness Pradeep Sehrawat alleged the absence of a protective safety wall at the accident spot.
The student was rescued and rushed to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately, he did not survive.
