Noida Man Dies After Car Falls Into Drain Following GPS Directions

Car Falls Into Drain: A man died after his car slid into a 30-foot-deep drain in Greater Noida, police officials said on Tuesday. The locals claimed that the man lost his way and fell into the drain due to an app's faulty navigation.

The man was identified as Bharat Singh, a resident of Mandawali in Delhi. The incident occurred on Saturday when he was on his way to attend a wedding in Rani Rampur in Greater Noida.

Locals have suggested that wrong navigation on Singh’s device may have led to the accident. However, police have said there is no confirmation to support this claim as his mobile phone has not yet been recovered.

No Warning Signs at the Road’s End

The accident occurred around 3:30 pm near the Kendriya Vihar area in Sector P4 of Greater Noida, according to Vijay Kumar, in-charge of the Beta 2 police station.

“Bharat Singh was going to a wedding function in Rani Rampur when the accident happened,” Kumar said. He also pointed out that there were no warning signs at the end of the road, which could have caused the car to lose control and fall into the drain.

Nikhil, a friend of Bharat Singh, shared how he rushed to the scene after receiving a call from the police. “I received a call from the police and reached the spot from Delhi. His body was recovered from the car with the help of a crane,” Nikhil said.

An eyewitness Saurabh, a delivery boy, said, the car was speeding and fell into the drain. Locals rushed to help, but the car had overturned and was filled with water. The absence of warning signs at the road's end and near the drain posed a danger, often confusing people who rely on navigation apps, leading to such accidents, a local claimed.
