The CCTV camera video, which lasts for almost 30 seconds, shows a busy street, when around the time stamp of 7.11 pm, a truck enters the frame as it rams into an auto-rickshaw and other vehicles.
Pedestrians can be seen on the road, trying to gather themselves, as the out-of-control truck leaves crushed cars in its wake.
The incident took place on Aerodrome Road in Indore. The truck’s front part later caught fire as a motorcycle was dragged along under it.
According to the police, the truck driver was arrested and interrogated. “Two people have died in the accident, and 11 others are injured. Of them, three to four sustained minor injuries and will be discharged after primary treatment,” said police commissioner Santosh Kumar Singh after visiting one of the hospitals.
Singh said the authorities were ensuring proper medical care for the injured, while the cause of the accident was being investigated.
Crowds gathered at the accident site and at hospitals and raised slogans against the police and administration. Protesters alleged that heavy commercial vehicles are not permitted on the busy road and questioned how the truck entered the area despite the deployment of traffic police personnel at crucial road junctions. Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav visited a private hospital and met the injured.
