Overview
- A private bus allegedly lost control while descending the Nand Nagri flyover and first rammed a taxi before ploughing into three motorbikes near the Nand Nagri bus depot, police said.
- Doctors and police confirmed one motorcyclist, identified as 27-year-old Vinit, was declared dead and two others, Rohit and Suraj, were taken to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital for treatment.
- Eyewitnesses on the night feared eight to ten people were trapped under the bus, prompting large rescue efforts, but officials have not verified those higher casualty numbers.
- A crime team and forensic experts inspected the site, collected evidence, and police have registered legal proceedings while investigators probe whether overspeeding or negligent driving caused the crash.
- The crash on a busy road next to a bus depot increased rescue needs and may lead authorities to review the private bus operator and local road safety enforcement as inquiries continue.
