8 Jan
Summary
- A speeding car injured two people in the Sama area of Vadodara Tuesday night.
- The car first struck a vegetable cart pusher and then a motorcycle.
- The incident highlights ongoing concerns about rash and drunken driving in the city.
In Vadodara, a hit-and-run incident occurred Tuesday night in the Sama area, resulting in injuries to two people. The driver of a speeding car, captured on CCTV fleeing the scene, first hit Vinod Agrawal, who was pushing his vegetable cart, causing a leg injury. The vehicle then collided with a motorcycle some distance away, injuring the person riding pillion.
This event underscores a growing problem of rash and drunken driving within the city. Previous incidents include a fatal accident on October 24, 2025, where a car allegedly driven by an intoxicated Nitin Jha killed a four-year-old girl. Earlier assaults in August and instances of drunk driving in September and June also highlight the persistent issue.
The Sama incident adds to a series of similar occurrences, including a May incident where Vijay Kumavat, allegedly intoxicated, damaged three vehicles. These repeated events are raising serious concerns among residents and authorities about road safety and the prevalence of impaired driving.
