Six people, including two children, were injured after the car they were travelling in rammed into concrete barriers at AIT Chowk near Sector-55 on Golf Course Road early Wednesday, police said.
Both families live in the same locality near Shiv Mandir in Mehrauli, Delhi. The Hyundai Exter, bearing a Delhi registration number, was travelling towards Sikanderpur from Golf Course Extension Road. Police said the families were returning home from Gurugram when the crash took place between 3.30am and 4am. Police made a diary entry at the Sector-56 police station after commuters alerted the control room.
The injured were Kunal Chawla, his wife Arushi Chawla, their one-and-a-half-year-old son, their neighbours Shivam Koli and his wife Priyanka Koli, and their five-year-old son, police said. A police official privy to the investigation said a U-turn at AIT Chowk had been created using multiple heavy concrete barriers. Sandeep Turan, public relations officer of Gurugram police, said no complaint had been filed yet. Turan said it was the first such crash at the spot in several months and that traffic officials would inspect it if required.
Because of poor lighting and a lack of warning signs and reflective tapes, chawla alleged the barriers were not visible.
