Father and Two Young Daughters Injured After Motorcycle Falls From Geeta Colony Flyover

The case raises fresh questions about flyover loop design and rider safety as police investigate the causes.

Overview

  • Police and bystanders rescued a 35-year-old man, Ashish, and his daughters Rubi (12) and Mansi (11) after their motorcycle struck the Geeta Colony flyover edge and the three fell roughly 20 feet.
  • The crash, reported to police around 1:46 pm on Monday, briefly blocked traffic before officers restored normal flow and recovered the motorcycle on the flyover.
  • Two occupants, Ashish and Rubi, landed in a tree and were stabilized at local hospitals while Mansi suffered severe head injuries and was referred to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital for specialist care.
  • Investigators say preliminary reconstruction points to high speed (estimated 60–70 km/h), a speed breaker on a curved loop and sudden braking as likely contributors, and they noted only one helmet was found at the scene.
  • Police have opened a formal inquiry into the circumstances; the outcome could prompt closer scrutiny of the flyover loop’s design and local road safety measures for two-wheelers.
