A tragic road accident took place in Karnataka’s Chitradurga, where a speeding car hit a woman attempting to cross an expressway. The horrific moment was captured on CCTV, showing the woman being flung into the air upon impact before landing three lanes away. She suffered a fatal head injury and died on the spot. The incident, which occurred on Sunday night, also involved another woman and two children who were crossing the road with her. They narrowly escaped being hit by the vehicle.
The CCTV footage reveals that the woman had almost reached the second lane from the divider when the high-speed car struck her. Despite the heavy impact, the driver did not stop and fled the scene. A passerby rushed to check on the victim as bystanders watched in shock. The lack of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure on highways has once again raised concerns about road safety in India. With speeding vehicles and inadequate crossings, such tragic incidents continue to occur frequently.
Authorities have registered a case and launched an investigation to trace the driver and vehicle responsible for the accident. Police are analyzing CCTV footage to gather more details about the car’s make and registration number. Meanwhile, road safety advocates have emphasized the urgent need for pedestrian overpasses and stricter enforcement of speed limits to prevent such incidents.
