Two dead and two injured on the F’bad-Ggm road when a car rammed a stationary truck

Two men were killed and two others seriously injured when their car rammed into the back of a stationary trailer truck on the Faridabad-Gurugram road near Bandhwari dumping ground in the early hours of Saturday. According to police, the accident happened around 2.30 am when they were on their way from Faridabad to Gurugram.

The incident took place when the car, a Volkswagen Polo driven by 30-year-old Rahul Kumar, tried to overtake another vehicle from the left. The trailer truck, which took up most of the Gurugram-bound carriageway, was parked without warning lights or reflectors, meaning the driver might have missed it in the dark, police said. The crash was so severe that the front of the car was completely destroyed, officers said.

Inspector Rajesh Bagri, the police officer of the DLF Phase I police station, said that both the deceased, Rahul and his brother, Kuldeep Kumar, 26, were residents of SGM Nagar, Faridabad. “The injured men were Rahul’s cousin Rajat, 27, and their friend Satender, 25,” Bagri added. Rajat had asked Rahul to travel to Gurugram that evening for work, he added. Both injured men, residents of AC Nagar in Faridabad, suffered multiple fractures and are being treated at BK Civil Hospital, Faridabad.

Local villagers at the spot reported hearing a loud crash and quickly informed the toll plaza in Bandhwari, about a kilometer from the crime scene, police said. Mohit Bhardwaj, corridor control manager at Bandhwari toll plaza, said, “The paramedics found the two in the front dead after reaching the spot. The two passengers in the back were seriously injured, but were conscious.” All four were transported to BK Civil Hospital, the nearest medical facility.

Police assume that the driver of the trailer, who was probably in the car when the accident occurred, fled with the truck shortly after the accident. Based on a statement made by Rajat, the surviving cousin, an FIR was lodged against the unknown driver under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including Sections 106 (causing death by negligence) and 285 (obstructing public highway) , at DLF ​​Phase-I police station on Saturday. Efforts are underway to trace the vehicle and the suspect, police said.
