Honda City mishap: Another student dies

Another student travelling in the ill-fated Honda City car, which fell off a flyover in the Punjabi Bagh area on Monday, succumbed to her injuries on Tuesday morning. This was the fourth death in the case. The family of the deceased, Garima, has decided to donate her eyes.

The car was carrying seven college students, on their way to Narela to take an exam.

The bereaved family members said Garima wanted to take a cab, but she was unable to book one in time. Her friend Ritu, who was accompanying her, also died in the accident.

"The two girls tried stopping auto-rickshaws and booking cabs but could not find anything. They then called their friend Sanchit, who also died, for help. Sanchit told them that they will take a detour, come back, and pick them up," a family member said.

The seven students of Bachelors of Business Administration at the Delhi Institute of Professional Studies in Rohini — Sanchit, Ritu, Pranav, Garima, Rishab, Raja, and Rajat — were on their way to appear for their first exam of the second semester. They were travelling in Rajat's Honda City car. While Sanchit and Ritu were declared dead on arrival at the hospital, Rajat succumbed to his injuries on Monday afternoon.

Meanwhile, police investigation has revealed that the car was in high speed when its rear tyre burst and in order to save a group of cyclists, Rajat lost control on the steering wheel, rammed on the side of the flyover, and drove the car off it.
