On August 22nd, the Delhi-Mumbai-Baroda Expressway witnessed a horrifying collision. A Rolls-Royce, reportedly speeding at 200km/h, crashed into a diesel tanker, which subsequently flipped.

Who’s to Blame?
Initially, the blame was thrust upon Ramprit, the tanker driver, suggesting he might have been driving recklessly. These claims have been challenged by emerging CCTV footage. According to this evidence, it was the Rolls-Royce, part of a convoy of up to 20 vehicles, including security personnel, that rear-ended the tanker.

Learning Point for Young Readers:
Accidents like these underscore the importance of road safety and responsible driving. Speed thrills but also, unfortunately, kills. It’s crucial, especially for young drivers and readers who might be new to driving, to always prioritize safety over speed. Despite having the most luxurious cars at one’s fingertips, responsibility shouldn’t be overlooked.
Despite the continuing investigation, this accident serves as a harsh reminder of the perils of high-speed driving and the importance of remaining alert and responsible. There’s a lesson here for everyone, no matter their age or driving experience.
We extend our deepest condolences to the families affected by this tragedy.
