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.
