A tragic incident unfolded in Greater Noida on Thursday morning when a 14-year-old boy, Neeraj, was critically injured after being hit by a speeding Jaguar near the Stellar Jeevan Society. The accident occurred around 6 am while Neeraj was out for a morning run.

The high-impact collision left Neeraj with severe head and chest injuries. He was immediately rushed to a private hospital, where his condition remains critical. The driver of the luxury car fled the scene, prompting Neeraj’s father to file a complaint at the Bisrakh police station.

Eyewitness accounts suggest that the Jaguar was being driven recklessly and at an alarming speed when it hit the boy from behind. “The vehicle was moving so fast that it barely gave the boy any chance to react,” said a local resident.

Following the complaint, police swiftly acted, tracing the accused driver and taking the vehicle into custody. “We have seized the car and taken the driver into custody,” said a senior police officer. “A case has been registered, and further legal proceedings are underway.”

This incident highlights the growing concern over reckless driving in urban areas. Despite frequent awareness campaigns and strict traffic regulations, such accidents continue to claim lives and cause severe injuries. The lack of adherence to speed limits and the disregard for pedestrian safety remain persistent issues.

As Neeraj battles for his life, his family and community demand justice and stricter measures against negligent driving. This accident serves as a grim reminder of the consequences of reckless driving and the urgent need for more stringent enforcement of road safety norms.
