A dangerous incident unfolded on Saturday afternoon at Damdama Mor in Sohna, where a 34-year-old teacher narrowly avoided serious injury during a severe multi-vehicle collision.

The vehicle subsequently collided with several parked police motorcycles and cars before coming to a halt after hitting a tree.
Traffic personnel intervened and apprehended the allegedly drunk driver, Budh Ram, a resident of Bissar Akbarpur village. Another occupant of the Mercedes managed to flee the scene. The injured individuals were promptly transported to a local hospital for medical attention. An FIR has been registered against Ram under relevant sections of the BNS for rash driving and causing damage.
