Vadodara car crash survivor recalls the devastating moments right after the high-speed collision
On the night of March 14, 2025, one of the crash survivors, Vikas, his siblings, Jayesh and Komal, and a few of their neighbours, including the deceased, Hemaliben Patel, were out on two-wheelers to buy refreshments. A speeding Volkswagen Virtus, allegedly driven by a 20-year-old law student named Rakshit Ravish Chaurasia, rammed into them from behind at high speed. In an interview with ANI, Vikas shared:
“I was out with my siblings and neighbours to grab some refreshments. Our neighbor Hemaliben Patel has died, and her husband Purabbhai Patel is critical. We were on two-wheelers. Suddenly, a car hit us from behind. It was being driven at a very high speed. When I was falling from the scooter, my eyes were open. And I saw that parts of the other scooter (which Purab and Hemali were riding) were flying in the air. The couple suffered serious injuries.”
