In Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, a tragic accident took place as a man who was lying on the road was run over by an MG Aster vehicle. The man had been drunk and fell in the middle of the road. The accident occurred because the driver could not see him (he was dark). This accident has scared people and once again created concern about the safety of roads and drunk individuals on the streets.
What Happened?
There was a serious accident in Uttar Pradesh in Ghaziabad late at night. A man, intensely drunk, fell and lay in the middle of the road. His condition did not allow him to move or get up. Unluckily, at about the same time, a car of the MG Aster kind was passing along that road. The highway was not that dark, but very little was visible. The man was lying there unseen by the driver of the car. The driver had no time even to notice, and the vehicle rolled over him. Everybody who was there was shocked at the incident. The moment the accident occurred, people arrived at the scene. Some hastened to see what had happened to the man, and others dialed the number of the police and an ambulance. The man was brought to the hospital and treated within a short duration. This accident again brought out two deeply concerning aspects, with one being the road safety at night when there is already low visibility, and the second being alcohol consumption. Drunk driving is a sin that affects an individual and the lives of others.
