World Trauma Day is marked on the 17th of October each year around the world. It is a day aimed at showcasing the need to prevent deaths and disabilities caused by accidents. Having pushed the agenda on road safety, also regularly covering stories on road accidents and the lack of apathy that often leads to deaths we decided to dig deeper.
Early this morning, a Hyundai in Delhi toppled over on a large road in central Delhi, a street light jammed right through the middle of the car in a terrible accident. There were five people in the car, all in their 20s, who had driven from Haryana to Delhi to attend a friend's wedding. The driver and the person riding shotgun have died. Two of the others are fighting for their lives. The third is safe with no major injuries.
