Sep 22, 2025, Greater Noida West: Two young professionals lost their lives in a tragic late-night accident when their Ducati motorcycle crashed through safety railings and plunged into an under-construction underpass in Char Murti area.
The victims, both working in private firms and hailing from Prayagraj, lost control at high speed and weren’t wearing helmets. Both succumbed to severe head injuries despite being rushed to hospital.
“This is what happens when construction sites don’t have proper safety measures,” said local resident Deepak Singh. “That area is so dark at night, and the signage is completely inadequate. It was an accident waiting to happen.”
Fellow resident Priya Gupta added, “Young people drive fast, but where are the speed breakers, proper lighting, and warning signs? The authorities need to wake up before more lives are lost.”
The incident has prompted calls for improved signage, lighting, and stricter enforcement of helmet laws, especially around construction zones. Traffic police say they’re reviewing night-time safety measures at similar sites across Greater Noida.
Local authorities have promised immediate safety upgrades at the accident site.
