Calf, brick or speed? Conflicting accounts after Atiq Ahmed’s son dies in crash
Abaan Ahmed, son of Atiq Ahmed, died in a fatal SUV crash in Jhansi. The vehicle hit a road divider, killing Abaan and his friend Sonu. Eyewitnesses and survivors provided conflicting accounts of the moments before the accident. Police are investigating the incident, which occurred on a wet road. Three other occupants of the vehicle sustained injuries and are receiving treatment.
On Thursday morning, the SUV driven by Sonu Ahmed, 21, crashed into a road divider near Poonch on the Kanpur-Jhansi road, killing both Abaan Ahmed, 21, and his friend Sonu. The crash left three other occupants injured, who were taken to Jhansi Medical College for treatment. Eyewitness accounts differ on the cause of the accident.
Deepak Yadav, an eyewitness, claimed a calf suddenly appeared on the highway, causing the driver to swerve and collide with a motorcycle before hitting the divider. Injured survivor Umar Ahmed, however, stated the SUV became uncontrollable after hitting a brick on the road. Police reported that the vehicle was likely driven at high speed, and the wet road could have also contributed to the crash.
