A 21 years old woman was charred to death while her husband suffered grievous injuries when their Maruti Alto car collided with a heavy vehicle, possibly a truck on Pataudi Road a little after midnight on the intervening night of 1st and 2nd February 2025 when fog reduced visibility to almost zero.
Neelu, a homemaker, and her husband Pawan were returning home after watching a movie at New Town Square Mall in Sector 95 when their Maruti Alto was hit by a heavy vehicle from behind near Wazirpur Mod. Officials suspect that by the time the driver of the heavy vehicle spotted the Alto which was moving slowly through the fog, it was too late. He tried to steer the vehicle to the left, but it hit the car. The passenger side of the Alto was mangled.
"The left door and roof of the car was almost flattened. Neelu, who was in the front passenger seat, got trapped inside the Alto. Fire erupted from the engine and spread rapidly because of fuel leakage," said a Manesar fire officer.
Passersby managed to rescue Pawan who works with electric cab aggregator Blu Smart from the driver's seat, but failed to pull out his wife Neelu as flames had engulfed the entire car. Officials said the fire control room received an alert a little after 1am.
A fire engine arrived within 15-20 minutes and doused the flames. But the car was completely charred by then. Neelu's body was burnt beyond recognition. It was handed over to police for an autopsy.
Police are scanning CCTV footage to identify the vehicle that hit the Alto.
The accused driver fled the scene with his vehicle. CCTV footages are being reviewed from various locations to identify the heavy vehicle.
