A freak accident in West Delhi’s Kirti Nagar left a 27-year-old man decapitated after his car collided with another vehicle on Wednesday.
Police said the victim, Vansh Jolly, a resident of Mansarovar Garden, worked as a marketing agent for a cosmetic product company. He is survived by his mother.
CCTV footage of the incident shows the victim’s car, a Hyundai Elantra, being flung over the divider and crashing into another four-wheeler on the other side of the road. Police said that Jolly’s head got caught in the driver’s side window and was crushed and dismembered.
Footage also showed his body lying in the driver’s seat.
DCP (West) Vichitra Veer said at 5.45 pm, they received news that a man had died after two cars collided, with one of them hitting the road divider, at BCD Chowk in Kirti Nagar.
Officers said the other vehicle, a Toyota Etios, was being driven by one Rajesh Arora, who runs an auto parts manufacturing unit. He sustained minor injuries and his vehicle was damaged.
“Prima facie, it appears Jolly lost control of the vehicle… a mechanical inspection of the car is underway,” said police.
