One person was killed after a speeding truck overturned at the Okhla underpass in Delhi early Monday morning.

Shayam, an eyewitness to the accident, told ANI the incident occurred around 12:50 AM when no administration officials were present at the spot. He alleged that the police did not provide help despite arriving at the scene.

The accident occurred after a speeding truck overturned at the Okhla underpass.

"It happened around 12:50 PM. There was no one there, no administration officials. We dialled 100 at 12:55 PM. Two policemen came, they saw the dead body and left after seeing it. If they wanted, they could have helped. There was a gas leak, so they said to move away. We could have also helped. There were 50 per cent chance he could have survived. But they did not help. I think the driver was drunk. Speed, I think, was 100 kmph," Shayan alleged.

However, an ambulance was rushed to the accident spot, and a few police personnel were also present later on, diverting the incoming traffic.

Further details are awaited. The police are yet to confirm the details of the accident. (ANI)
