Out-of-control car amidst high speed

According to eyewitnesses, the car was moving at a very high speed. After suddenly losing control, the car continued to move forward, hitting people along the way.

However, the final status regarding this will be clarified by the police investigation and medical test reports.

The accident raises questions about road safety again

There has been a series of accidents due to speeding vehicles on highways and major roads in the Haridwar and Roorkee areas. In recent months, several serious road accidents have occurred in the district. In March 2026, a speeding car hit three youths selling strawberries by the highway in the Jwalapur area, resulting in one death.

In such accidents, driving under the influence of alcohol, high speed, and loss of control over the vehicle become serious risks. The police periodically take action against driving under the influence and violations of traffic rules.

Currently, information regarding the condition of the injured and the police's further actions is awaited.
