A serious road accident in Ponda has left a young man with critical injuries after his motorcycle crashed into a stationary truck near a flyover. The incident occurred on Saturday evening, highlighting ongoing concerns about road safety and vehicle management in the area.
Details of the Accident
Suraj Tiwari, a 25-year-old resident of Usgao, was riding his motorcycle towards Ponda town when the collision took place near the Curti flyover. According to preliminary reports, Tiwari lost control of his two-wheeler and crashed into the back of a parked truck that had broken down several days earlier.
The impact was severe, and Tiwari sustained critical injuries in the accident. He was immediately rushed to a hospital in Ponda for emergency medical treatment. The Ponda police have registered a case of motor vehicle accident following the incident and have conducted a panchanama to document the scene.
Concerns About Road Safety
Local sources reveal that the loaded truck had been broken down for a few days and was left by the side of the road without being moved. This has raised significant concerns among residents about road safety and the responsiveness of authorities.
Locals have expressed frustration, stating that police should have acted faster to remove the vehicle from the road carriageway. They point out that such heavy vehicles are routinely seen broken down by roadsides, with slow action taken to relocate them to safer locations.
This incident underscores the urgent need for better enforcement of road safety regulations and quicker response times from authorities to prevent similar accidents in the future.
The community is calling for more proactive measures to ensure that broken-down vehicles are promptly removed from busy roads to protect motorists and pedestrians alike.
