Speeding Innova Hits Two Women in Nalbari: One Dead, Another Critical

A fatal road accident in Assam’s Nalbari district claimed the life of a woman and left another critically injured after a speeding Toyota Innova reportedly rammed into the two pedestrians at Kadamtala in the Barbhag area.

The incident occurred when the two women were sitting by the roadside and engaged in conversation. According to preliminary information, the vehicle was travelling at high speed when it suddenly moved towards the roadside and struck both women. The impact left the victims with severe injuries.

One of the women, identified as Aikon Bezbaruah, suffered fatal injuries and died at the spot. Despite the seriousness of the incident, there was reportedly no opportunity to save her life as she succumbed immediately following the collision.

The second victim, identified as Bina Das, sustained serious injuries in the crash. She was quickly taken to Nalbari Medical College and Hospital for emergency medical treatment. Her condition was reported to be critical, and doctors were attending to her injuries.

The force of the collision also caused the Innova to lose control. The vehicle, bearing registration number AS01 LC 344, reportedly went off the road and plunged approximately seven feet below the roadside. The circumstances leading to the driver losing control of the vehicle are yet to be fully established.

Following the accident, the driver allegedly abandoned the vehicle and fled from the location. The person remains untraced, prompting police to launch efforts to identify and locate the driver.
