Cases of underage driving are on the rise in many parts of India, and the recent accident in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad has raised fresh concern. A 15-year-old boy was allegedly driving a Maruti Swift when a serious accident occurred in a residential area. The car ran over a 3-year-old girl who was playing on a small internal road in the neighborhood.
Surveillance camera footage shows the child playing near cars parked in the private driveway. As you slowly approach the open road, the car enters the area at the same time. Within seconds, the car hits the child and passes over him. Fortunately, the young driver stopped immediately and the little girl escaped without serious injury. The narrow escape has left many people feeling relieved, but also concerned about the dangers of minors driving cars.

The police case is filed against the minor and the car owner
According to Bhasker reports, the police have filed a case against the minor who was driving the car. They have also initiated proceedings against the car owner for allowing simple driving. Officials said the car did not have a license plate, and this violation of the rules was also added to the case. The incident took place at Shiv Bungalows common area in Noble Nagar. When the residents saw the car hit the child, they started screaming. When the minor heard the sound, he immediately stopped the car.
CCTV video clearly shows the 3-year-old girl trapped under the car as it ran over it. After the car stopped, she slowly crawled out from under it, got up, and started running. Thank God, she was not exposed to any serious injuries.
Shortly after the terrifying moment, her parents and other residents rushed to the scene. The girl’s mother appeared shaken, but felt relieved that her child was safe. In the heat of the moment, she was also seen slapping the minor who was driving the car.
