Heartbreak gripped Noida after a Jaguar ferrying four youths collided head-on with a canter truck on the Sector-49 Elevated Road, fatally injuring 19-year-old Falak Ahmad from Sector-47. Her friends – Ayush (Sector-47), Neel (Sector-50), and Ansh (Sector-48), all 18 – escaped death but face a long recovery from serious wounds.
Bound for Agapur from Bhangel, the car (HP 11 C 6330) attempted a risky overtake, resulting in loss of control and a brutal smash-up. The scene was gruesome, with the luxury sedan crumpled like tin foil, drawing horrified onlookers.
Rapid response from local police ensured the injured reached medical care promptly, though Falak could not be saved. Her passing triggered scenes of uncontrollable mourning among kin. One survivor clings to life in ICU, as doctors work tirelessly.
Sector-49 cops are deploying all resources to trace the hit-and-run truck, poring over surveillance videos for clues. Experts attribute such crashes to Noida’s elevated roads’ design flaws combined with driver bravado.
A formal FIR has been lodged, and investigations continue apace. This incident serves as a grim wake-up call for safer driving practices, particularly among the young. Noida’s traffic enforcers promise ramped-up patrols and awareness drives to avert future calamities, offering solace to shattered families.
