A speeding car ran over and killed three people on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Rajasthan’s Alwar district late Wednesday night.
The victims were changing a punctured cab tyre near the Gurjar Khora culvert under the Laxmangarh police station area when the crash occurred.
Laxmangarh Sub-Inspector Hariman identified the deceased as Delhi event manager Manisha Gupta (26), Ajmer cab driver Azad (30), and Alwar NHAI employee Jagmohan (25).
Around 1:30 a.m., Manisha, a Trilokpuri resident working in Jaipur, was travelling toward the Rajasthan capital with another woman, Asma.
After their cab suffered a flat tyre near the culvert, driver Azad called the National Highways Authority of India helpline for roadside assistance.
NHAI worker Jagmohan arrived minutes later with his colleagues and began speaking with Manisha to gather details about the breakdown.
Suddenly, a speeding car approaching from Delhi rammed into the group, striking Manisha and Jagmohan before running over Azad as he changed the tyre.
The errant vehicle then overturned on the roadside a few metres ahead, and the driver immediately fled the accident scene.
Manisha’s co-passenger, Asma, also went missing from the spot following the fatal collision.
Jagmohan’s accompanying colleagues alerted local police, who arrived to find that all three victims had died instantly from severe head injuries.
Authorities shifted the bodies to the Badodamev Community Health Centre and notified the victims’ families during the night.
Police officials are currently scanning expressway CCTV footage, examining documents recovered from the abandoned car, and questioning locals to trace the absconding driver and missing passenger.
