Car falls into pond amid dense fog in Karnal, car driver dies
Anil, a resident of Garhi Sadan in Indri block, was going to Yamunanagar to pick up his wife
In a tragic accident, a car skidded off the road and plunged into a pond near the t-point of Dhomsi village, claiming the life of the car driver. According to the information, the incident took place on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday amid dense fog.
At the time of the accident, the car was occupied only by the driver, who drowned in the pond. Local residents rushed to the spot after hearing a loud sound and informed the police. However, poor visibility due to thick fog, darkness, and cold weather hampered rescue operations during the night.
The victim has been identified as Anil (32), a resident of Garhi Sadan in Indri block. He was going to his in-laws’ house in Yamunanagar to pick up his wife.
“We got information about the accident at around 1am and we rushed to the spot. We called the SDRF team. With their help the submerged car was pulled out of the pond. The driver’s body was found inside the car,” said inspector Vipin Kumar, SHO Indri.
As per the villagers, a car was coming from the Garhi Jattan side around midnight. At the Dhomsi t-point, instead of taking a turn, the vehicle went straight ahead and fell into the pond. The sound of the crash alerted nearby residents, who attempted to help but were unable to see clearly due to heavy fog.
Police have taken the vehicle into custody and are investigating the exact cause of the accident, though initial findings suggest that dense fog led to this tragic incident.
