by Aditi VermaA major accident was narrowly avoided in central India’s Madhya Pradesh when a new driver, who was still learning to drive, crashed his recently purchased car into over half a dozen vehicles. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
The incident took place in Kabit Colony in Jawahar Nagar area located in Dewas district on August 25.
Visuals showed a speeding car was zooming down a narrow street when suddenly, the driver lost control. The car swerved wildly and slammed into several parked vehicles along the roadside. The impact was severe, causing significant damage to some of the cars, with crumpled hoods, shattered windows, and broken lights scattered across the pavement. After the collision, the car came to an abrupt stop, sitting amidst the wreckage. The loud crash drew the attention of nearby residents, who rushed out of their homes, alarmed and curious to see what had happened.
In Dewas, a significant mishap was narrowly avoided on Saturday when a 28-year-old man, identified as Ajay Malviya, lost control of his new car and collided with several vehicles parked in the Jawahar Nagar area. The incident occurred early in the morning when Malviya, who had recently purchased the car and was still learning to drive, ventured onto the road.
As per eyewitnesses, Malviya’s car struck more than six vehicles, causing considerable damage. The impact shattered the windows of some cars, broke the rear lights of others, and even damaged a house’s wall. Although the vehicles sustained heavy damage, no casualties were reported.
A crowd quickly gathered at the scene, and local residents apprehended Malviya, handing him over to the City Kotwali Police. The police arrived promptly, seized the car, and took Malviya into custody. According to the police, Malviya had bought the car only two days prior to the incident.
The entire episode was captured on CCTV, and a case has been registered against Malviya at the City Kotwali Police Station.
