A man and his two minor daughters were injured after they allegedly fell from the Geeta Colony flyover in Shahdara district of east Delhi on Monday afternoon while travelling on a motorcycle, police said.
According to preliminary information, the accident took place on the flyover loop near Geeta Colony Police Station, they said.
The injured man, identified as Ashish, was travelling from Sonia Vihar towards Gandhi Nagar on a motorcycle with his two daughters when the incident occurred, a senior police officer said.
The three reportedly fell from the flyover under circumstances that are yet to be ascertained. Passersby and local police rushed to the spot and shifted them to a nearby hospital for treatment.
“I immediately ran towards the site. There were three people on a motorcycle. They appeared to have lost balance and fallen from the structure. We helped shift them to the hospital,” one of the eyewitnesses, Gulfam, told PTI.
Another eyewitness said he was standing near the flyover when he heard a loud thud and rushed to the spot.
“I saw a young girl and her father lying on the road below. We informed the police and tried to help them until emergency services arrived,” he said.
All three were admitted to Hedgewar Hospital, where they are undergoing treatment, police said.
Police have initiated an inquiry into the incident.
