A horrific accident on the Maa Flyover has left several people injured and caused a major traffic snarl during rush hour. The incident involved four cars in a consecutive pile-up, reportedly caused by a single vehicle traveling at an extremely high speed. While the scene was one of chaos and wreckage, police confirmed that, thankfully, no fatalities have been reported so far.
According to police sources, the accident took place in the stretch of the flyover heading from Science City towards Park Circus. Eyewitnesses and other drivers at the scene stated that a car was speeding at an estimated 80 kilometers per hour—significantly higher than the legal speed limit. As the traffic in front of it slowed down and a vehicle ahead braked, the speeding car was unable to stop in time.
The driver of the out-of-control vehicle first slammed into the car in front, causing a domino effect. The initial impact was so severe that it pushed the first vehicle into a second one, which in turn hit a third. The result was a four-car collision that left all the vehicles in a mangled state. The force of the crash was immense, and all four cars were badly damaged.
Following the collision, police were immediately dispatched to the site to manage the situation and assist the injured. Several people who were in the affected cars sustained injuries and were provided with medical attention. While none of the injuries were life-threatening, the incident highlighted the grave danger of overspeeding on the flyover. Police have successfully recovered all the cars and have arrested the driver of the vehicle responsible for the crash.
The accident once again brings to light the persistent problem of overspeeding on the Maa Flyover. Despite a strict speed limit of 60 km/h and past police measures—including a temporary night ban on vehicles and increased police deployment—accidents continue to occur. The police are now trying to determine the reason why the driver was traveling at such an excessive speed, particularly during a busy rush hour.
The unfortunate event resulted in significant traffic congestion on the flyover, causing inconvenience for commuters. The authorities are now investigating the exact circumstances of the accident and will likely intensify their efforts to enforce speed regulations and prevent similar incidents in the future.
