Nagpur, India: A family returning from a wedding narrowly escaped a major tragedy when their car had an accident due to a tyre burst on the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Expressway, near the National Cancer Hospital, on Monday, January 20, 2025.
Although the passengers sustained severe injuries, fortunately, no one lost their life. Quick action from locals helped alert authorities, and the injured family members were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
This incident comes just a day after a fatal accident on the same stretch of the expressway. On Sunday, January 19, Abhilash Chandrakant Dhone, a software engineer from Ram Nagar, Wardha, tragically died when his car collided with a truck attempting a U-turn near the National Cancer Hospital.
Dhone, who was travelling with his wife in a Tata Nexon, reportedly lost control of the vehicle. Despite being rushed to AIIMS, Nagpur, he was declared dead by doctors.
Both incidents highlight the increasing number of accidents on the Samruddhi Expressway, raising concerns about road safety. The police are investigating both cases and are urging drivers to remain cautious while travelling on this busy route.
