A horrific video from Dewas town in Madhya Pradesh has been trending after a 14 to 15-year-old boy was seen on camera driving a Hyundai Creta at high speed, which caused a big accident. The juvenile allegedly ran over a motorcyclist and his pillion rider before crashing into a house wall. A cow escaped narrowly by running away from the path of the speeding SUV.
The viral video clearly indicates the SUV driving irresponsibly down the street. The boy loses control and crashes head-on into an oncoming motorcycle. The SUV later crashes into a wall and breaks through it, getting into the house. Startled family members are immediately seen running out of the house following the deafening boom. A netizen named deadly kalesh shared video on X showing horrific accident.
The motorcyclist, despite appearing shaken, survived the crash. The biker is seen jogging toward the SUV, opening the driver's door, and yelling at the young driver. His bike, however, was totally destroyed in the crash.
The accident, which occurred at about 8:15 AM on Monday on school-going hours in a populated area, attracted a huge crowd of residents. People were shocked at the carelessness and wondered how the parents of the boy permitted him to drive such a high-powered vehicle.
When questioned, the boy's mother allegedly brushed aside all criticism, saying, "Mera beta toh chalayega, jo kar sakte ho kar lo" "My son will drive, do whatever you can." Her blunt reply has further enraged locals.
Residents are now calling for legal action not just against the underage driver for negligent endangerment but also against the parents for letting such negligent carelessness happen.
In official statistics, Madhya Pradesh follows India's second position when it comes to cases of minors driving vehicles, with 1,138 cases reported. Lack of supervision by parents has been identified by the authorities as the major factor behind such accidents.
