High-Speed Crash in Goa Leaves Trail of Wrecked Vehicles, Police Probe Underway
A late-night burst of speed turned into chaos on a Goa roadway after a Tata Tiago EV, allegedly being driven at a dangerously high speed, slammed into the rear of a pickup truck and then ploughed into several parked vehicles along the roadside. The chain-reaction crash left multiple cars and two-wheelers damaged, triggering panic among residents and motorists in the area.
According to eyewitnesses, the electric hatchback was travelling at a considerable pace when it struck the pickup truck from behind. The impact caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle, which veered off course and crashed into a row of stationary cars and motorcycles parked along the roadside. The sudden sequence of collisions sent debris scattering and drew immediate attention from nearby locals.
Police officials said they were alerted shortly after the incident and rushed to the scene to manage traffic and assess the damage. Officers cordoned off the affected stretch to prevent further disruption and began preliminary inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Authorities have confirmed that, despite the extent of the damage to vehicles, there have been no reports of serious injuries so far. However, several vehicles sustained significant damage, and owners were seen inspecting their cars and bikes in the aftermath.
Investigators believe overspeeding was the primary factor behind the accident and are examining the vehicle and statements from witnesses as part of the ongoing probe. Further action will be taken based on the findings of the investigation, police said.
The incident once again underscores the risks posed by reckless driving and high-speed travel on urban roads, raising renewed concerns about road safety enforcement in Goa. Officials have urged motorists to adhere strictly to speed limits to prevent such accidents and protect lives as well as property.
