As the car hit the woman she was up in the air for 3 seconds and landed on the other side of the road with a harsh impact on the road. 

Within moments, a truck approaching from behind ran over the woman, leaving her with fatal injuries. She died on the spot.

The users in the comment section slammed high uses of these E-rickshaws and creating chaos on the roads. 

One of the users said, “E-Rickshaw shouldn’t be allowed on Highways. Also the car driver is over speeding. He/she could’ve have applied the brake and this wouldn’t have happened. Both the car driver and E-riksha driver is responsible for the incident.”

In response to growing complaints and safety issues, the Delhi government recently announced a crackdown on unregistered e-rickshaws, stating that all impounded unregistered vehicles will be scrapped within seven days. The policy aims to bring order to the chaotic and often unsafe conditions posed by such vehicles.
