A drunk crane operator crashed into an Indian Air Force (IAF) officer’s car on Sinhagad Road in Pune late at night. The IAF officer was going to the National Defence Academy when this accident happened. The crash caused a lot of damage to the military vehicle.
The Parvati police quickly caught the crane operator and took him for a medical test. The test showed that he’d drunk a lot of alcohol. The police filed cases against him for dangerous driving and driving after drinking alcohol, which is against the law in Maharashtra.
The IAF vehicle got badly damaged from behind in the accident. This accident shows how dangerous it can be when people who drive big machines like cranes aren’t careful. The police and safety officers are now thinking about making new rules to watch crane drivers more carefully, especially at night.
This accident has made everyone talk about road safety in Pune, where both army and normal people’s vehicles run on the same roads. The police want to take strict action so that such accidents don’t happen again in the future.
Because of this accident, experts who know about transport safety say that there should be better ways to check if crane drivers are properly trained. They also want more safety checks and better ways to watch construction vehicles when they work in busy areas.
This case shows why it’s very important for people who drive big machines to follow all safety rules. Now, the authorities are looking more carefully at how they give licenses to crane operators and are making stricter rules to stop accidents caused by drinking and driving.
The incident adds to the growing list of Pune crime news involving drunk driving incidents in the city.
