Locals allege that the incident took place because the roads are dug up by the MCD and are not maintained properly. Mahalakshmi, a local resident, said that the truck driver was innocent, adding that the MCD and PWD should be blamed for the accident. They dig up the road and don't fill them properly.
On the other hand, the relatives of Maya, the woman injured in the accident, alleged that the MCD road had caved in years ago and was not filled properly to date. The truck driver fled after the accident, whom should we hold responsible for the accident? She is my mother-in-law and both her legs are fractured apart from other injuries. She had gone to say goodbye to a relative on the road.
