Birthday happiness turns into mourning in a moment, horrific road accident


The news of a very heart-wrenching and shocking road accident has come to light from Giridih-Ranchi Highway, which is one of the major and busiest roads of Jharkhand. The bike of two young men, who were returning home after celebrating a birthday party with their friends, with new enthusiasm and happiness in life, was crushed so brutally by a speeding unknown vehicle that both of them died painfully on the spot. This heart-wrenching incident happened at a time when there was less traffic on the road in the silence of the night and the driver was driving his car at excessive speed. The collision was so severe that the bike was blown apart and both the youths fell away on the road. This unexpected and horrific accident has turned the happiness of two laughing families into screams and mourning in a moment.

According to the information received and reports received from local people, both the deceased youths had gone at night to attend a birthday party organized at a local hotel or friend’s place. After the party was over, when he was returning home safely on his motorcycle, an unknown four-wheeler coming at a high speed on the road hit his bike hard from the rear or front. After the collision, the driver of the vehicle managed to escape quickly along with his vehicle, taking advantage of the darkness on the spot. Seeing the two youths lying soaked in blood on the road, some other passers-by immediately informed the local police about the accident, after which the police team immediately reached the spot.

As soon as the news of this horrific accident reached the relatives of the deceased and the local residents, there was chaos in the entire area and the anger of the people reached the seventh sky. Hundreds of angry villagers and local people gathered at the spot and completely blocked the main Giridih-Ranchi road, demanding justice. The protesters raised slogans against the administration by burning tires on the road and completely halting the traffic. People said that due to the continuous movement of high-speed vehicles on this highway, such road accidents are happening every day and the administration is completely failing to control it. Due to road blockage, long queues of vehicles formed on both sides of the highway, due to which the passengers had to face a lot of problems.

As soon as the information about the road jam was received, the police force of the local police station along with many senior administrative officers reached the spot and tried to pacify the angry crowd. The officials consoled the family members and villagers and assured that with the help of CCTV footage and technical surveillance, the absconding unknown vehicle and its driver will be identified as soon as possible and they will be brought under the ambit of the law and given strict punishment. Along with this, the victim’s family was also assured of getting appropriate compensation as per government rules, after which, after much effort, the jam could be removed and the traffic was made smooth. This painful incident once again raises serious questions on the vehicles running uncontrolled on our roads and negligence towards traffic rules, from which it is very important to learn a lesson.
