A tragic accident unfolded in Vadodara around 1 am when a 19-year-old woman allegedly ran over a young food delivery executive with a Thar SUV, resulting in fatal injuries. The victim, identified as Abhishek More, was riding an Activa scooter when he was struck. Eyewitnesses reported that the collision was severe enough to drag the scooter a significant distance, leaving bystanders shocked as they rushed to the scene to assist.

Accident Context and Allegations

The incident took place while the woman, Rushika, and her two sisters were returning home from a wedding. According to police, the sisters were en route to drop Vismayi, another sibling, at her house in the same area. Initial investigations indicate that the vehicle was allegedly being driven at high speed, potentially compounded by claims that the driver was under the influence of alcohol. These assertions have spurred the police to initiate a thorough investigation, which will include examining CCTV footage from the vicinity and medical assessments of the circumstances leading up to the crash.

Legal Developments

Following her arrest, Rushika, the driver, along with her sisters Tanisha and Vismayi, was taken into custody. The police are investigating not only the fatal collision but also a related incident that occurred two days beforehand, in which Rushika reportedly damaged a sugarcane juice machine owned by a family from Maharashtra in the same locality. The juxtaposition of these events has raised further questions regarding the behavior of the driver at that time.

Profile of the Victim

Abhishek More, only starting his career as a food delivery executive, was on his first day of work when the unfortunate incident occurred. Witnesses described him as a diligent young man, excited about his new job, who tragically lost his life just as he was beginning his professional journey. The victim’s father has formally lodged a complaint with the police, leading to the apprehension of the driver and her companions.

Investigation Status

Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident, and more details are expected to emerge as the inquiry progresses. Police officials have expressed a commitment to shedding light on the complete sequence of events leading to the fatal encounter. Meanwhile, the community is left mourning the loss of a young life, highlighting the serious implications of reckless driving and substance use behind the wheel.
