Rising cases of fatal accidents in Noida

The case, while unfortunate, is hardly rare in Noida, which has seen back-to-back incidents of road accidents in the last few months. According to data from the Gautam Buddh Nagar Police, the district has witnessed a troubling surge in road fatalities, often exceeding 400 deaths annually. Recent reports indicate that nearly 40% of these accidents occur on major expressways like the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and the Yamuna Expressway, primarily due to over-speeding and low visibility during winter months.

The district typically records over 1,000 road accidents a year, involving a mix of high-speed luxury vehicles and vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians. Furthermore, police enforcement data reveals that thousands of challans are issued monthly for drunken driving and red-light jumping, yet the frequency of "hit-and-run" cases remains a significant challenge for local law enforcement.
