Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh: A high-speed Hyundai Creta collided violently with a scooter in Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, on 16 December, leaving multiple people injured and sparking a heated debate on social media. The incident was captured on CCTV, showing the severity of the crash, including a pedestrian who was also hit in the chaos.
The video circulated widely online, with some users incorrectly claiming the accident took place in Ahmedabad. Authorities have clarified that the collision occurred in Kankipadu, Krishna district.
Details of the Crash
According to reports, the Creta was traveling at excessive speed when it struck the scooter, causing severe damage to the front of the car. The scooter, carrying two people, lost control after the collision, and a pedestrian standing nearby was caught in the impact and dragged a short distance. Both the scooter riders and the pedestrian sustained injuries.
Investigations suggest that both parties contributed to the accident. The scooter rider reportedly turned without checking for oncoming traffic, while the Creta was overspeeding. Alarmingly, the scooter carried a passenger holding a metal rod, which heightened the risk during the collision.
Social Media Reaction and Analysis
The viral video prompted widespread discussion about road safety. Many users criticized the scooter rider for negligence, while others highlighted the Creta driver’s overspeeding as a key factor. Observers also emphasized adherence to basic traffic rules, such as checking both sides before making a turn and respecting zebra crossings and intersection protocols.
This accident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of overspeeding and careless driving, particularly in busy intersections where pedestrians and two-wheelers are vulnerable. Authorities are investigating further and have urged motorists and pedestrians to follow traffic regulations strictly to prevent such incidents in the future.
