Car overturns after botched e-rickshaw overtake in Delhi, video goes viral

Another example of how a small moment of carelessness on the road can carry a heavy cost has surfaced, after a video of an accident near Shakti Nagar roundabout in Delhi went viral on social media. The clip shows a car losing control while overtaking and flipping over.

The video shows a white WagonR car moving at high speed on the road. The incident is said to have occurred near Shakti Nagar roundabout in Delhi. The driver tries to overtake an e-rickshaw from the left, but the car loses balance in the process. It skids on the road, overturns, and crashes into the roadside. The driver tries to regain control, but the car veers to the other side and hits a divider.

The most frightening moment comes when the car's rear windscreen shatters. A young man seated in the back seat has his head and upper body thrust out through the broken glass. He appears to be in an extremely dangerous position as the car flips. However, no one was killed in the accident, though the occupants of the car did suffer serious injuries. The exact date of the accident has not been confirmed, but the video was shared from an X account named zingabad on September 24, 2026. The exact number of people injured in the accident has not been officially confirmed.

After the video was shared, several users reacted to it. One user commented that a Maruti car like that will show you your place, and there was no way to avoid the crash since the driver was speeding and overtaking incorrectly. Another user wrote that the fault lay entirely with the car driver. A third user wrote that this is exactly why one should not make the mistake of overtaking carelessly.

The incident has once again underlined how important it is to follow traffic rules on the road. Overtaking without thinking it through can endanger not just one's own life but also the lives of the people travelling along.
