In a deadly school bus accident that occurred on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway today morning near Ghaziabad, an SUV hit a speeding school bus that was coming from the wrong side. The accident took the lives of 6 people on the spot.
The accident happened in the early morning hours at 6 AM when a school bus coming from the Delhi side hit a black Mahindra TUV300 which was cruising in its lane.
As sourced by the CCTV footage, the SUV driver upon seeing the bus diverted to another lane but due to the high speed of both vehicles the head-on collision happened. In this deadly school bus accident, 6 people lost their lives including 2 children, while 2 are seriously injured.
As sourced from media reports, the bus driver was coming from the wrong direction after filling CNG from Delhi near Ghazipur. The bus belongs to Bal Bharti School, Noida. The driver of the bus has been caught. There were 8 people in the SUV who were en route to Gurgaon from Meerut.
Rash driving cases in Noida/Ghaziabad make it Accident Prone Area
It is not the first time that such an accident has happened, however, the intensity of this accident will surely send shivers down the administration. The NCR region majority of the Noida/Ghaziabad area is often an example of such rash driving. The area near Gaur Chowk, Taj Highway, and the newly constructed Parthala Setu is testimonial to rash driving by bike taxi operators, auto drivers, and private vehicles.
Not to forget the never-ending construction work that goes on which invites large-scale trucks, cement mixers, and earthmovers, especially during the peak hours which is always a risk of an incoming catastrophic accident.
The common man just drives to the office and home at the mercy of these rash drivers. The government turns a blind eye and a deaf ear to such cases. This school bus accident will surely act as an explosive for the deaf administration.
RIP to the people who lost their lives.
