BAREILLY: A young couple with a child on their way to Haldwani from Budaun on a bike were hit by a speeding vehicle in Bareilly district on Thursday. The child had a narrow escape while his parents lay on the busy Bareilly-Nainital highway — bleeding profusely — for 25 minutes even as passersby made videos instead of rushing them to a nearby hospital, reports Kanwardeep Singh.
A video of the incident went viral on social media and police finally rushed to the spot to shift the couple to a medical facility. In the video, a person can be seen asking the couple to inform their family while another person is heard asking them to call cops.“Things could have been different if the passerbys had taken them to a hospital instead of making videos. The couple is critical now,” ASP (Rural) RajKumar Agarwal told TOI.
