A shocking incident of underage driving from Ahmedabad in Gujarat has triggered concern after a 15-year-old boy allegedly drove a car and ran over a three-year-old girl in a residential area. The frightening moment was captured on CCTV and the video has since gone viral on social media.
According to reports, the incident took place in the common area of Shiv Bungalows in Noble Nagar. The teenager was allegedly driving a Maruti Swift without a number plate when the accident occurred.
CCTV footage shows the three-year-old toddler playing near parked vehicles on a narrow internal road in the residential lane. As she slowly moves towards the open lane, the car enters the area at the same time. Within seconds, the vehicle hits the child and passes over her.
Residents nearby were shocked as the toddler briefly got trapped beneath the car. However, the driver stopped immediately after hearing people shouting.
In a miraculous escape, the child managed to crawl out from under the vehicle moments later. The footage shows her getting up and running away, indicating that she did not suffer any serious injuries despite the frightening accident.
Soon after the incident, the girl’s parents and residents rushed to the spot. Her mother appeared shaken but relieved that her daughter was safe. In the tense moment, she was also seen confronting and slapping the teenage driver.
Police have registered a case against the minor who was driving the vehicle. Action has also been initiated against the car owner for allowing an underage person to drive.
Officials said the vehicle was also found without a number plate, which has been included as an additional violation in the case.
The incident has sparked fresh debate about rising cases of underage driving in several parts of the country. Authorities have repeatedly warned that allowing minors to drive vehicles not only violates traffic laws but also puts lives at serious risk.
