Gurugram Accident On Camera: Car On Wrong Side Hits Biker, He Dies

A biker died after he crashed into a car driven on the wrong side of the road in Gurugram on Sunday. Akshat Garg, 23, was riding his bike with friends on the Golf Course Road in DLF Phase II when he crashed into the SUV.

The SUV driver was arrested but was released on bail almost immediately.

The crash was captured on a GoPro action camera mounted on his friend's bike.

The video shows Akshat, a resident of Dwarka, Delhi, riding his bike wearing a helmet and gloves. He was taking a slight turn when suddenly a Mahindra XUV 3XO appeared from the wrong side and collided with the bike head on.

The impact was such that Akshat was thrown off his bike behind the car. The front of the SUV was wrecked.

Akshat's mother questioned bail for the SUV driver. "I want justice for my son. A person in the wrong killed my son. My only question is why was he released on bail? My son has gone but he (the accused) slept peacefully that night...Why is the police not helping us?" she questioned.

According to reports, despite rapid ambulance response, Akshat could not be saved.

"In this matter, an FIR has been registered under relevant sections of BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) and the accused has been arrested as per law," the Gurugram Police said.

The police also said that they have issued more than 16,000 challans for wrong-side driving in August, and that "strict action" will continue.
