New Delhi: A tragic hit-and-run accident on GTK Road under the Alipur Police Station limits claimed the life of a two-year-old child and left two others injured on April 12, 2026.
According to police, the incident occurred around 2:00 PM near Khampur Red Light at Bakoli Village, when a Maruti Celerio (DL 9CAP 7389) carrying six occupants was proceeding from Delhi towards Sonipat. As the vehicle started moving after the traffic signal turned green, a speeding Toyota Fortuner (DL 3CCL 7464) rammed into it from behind.
Eyewitnesses and the complainant, Ravinder (47), stated that the Fortuner was being driven at a very high speed. The impact was so severe that the Celerio lost control, spun around, and crashed into a road divider.
During the collision, a two-year-old toddler slipped from a passenger’s lap and was thrown out of the vehicle window. She was immediately rushed to SRHC Hospital, Narela, where doctors declared her brought dead. Ravinder and a 28-year-old woman also sustained injuries and were treated at the same hospital.
The driver of the Fortuner fled the scene, abandoning the vehicle. Police have seized both vehicles involved in the accident for forensic examination.
A case has been registered under Sections 281 and 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The investigation has been handed over to the MACT Cell of the Outer North District to ensure a thorough probe and to trace and apprehend the absconding driver.
