Victim Story: Falak Ahmad's Life Cut Short
Falak Ahmad, just 19, dreamed big as a college student in Sector 47. Friends say she loved late-night chats and road trips with her close group. This ride was meant to be fun, but speed changed everything. Her family is heartbroken, demanding quick action against the truck driver.
Eyewitnesses heard a loud bang and saw the Jaguar spin wildly. One local told reporters, "It was dark, but the crash lit up the road like fireworks." Falak's parents rushed to the hospital, only to face the worst news.
Why Speeding Turns Deadly on Elevated Roads
Noida's Elevated Road is a smooth 6-lane highway built to cut traffic jams. Opened in 2019, it links Bhangel to Sector 62 over 4 km. But high speeds make it risky—cops say over 50 accidents here last year alone.​
Physics plays a big role. At 100 km/h, a car needs 100 meters to stop. Overtaking a truck at dawn, with poor light, leaves no room for mistakes. The divider's metal barrier crushed the Jaguar's side, showing why luxury cars aren't crash-proof.

Police & Investigations Underway
The Noida Police Department has registered a case and dispatched teams to collect CCTV evidence from multiple spots of the elevated road stretch. They are focusing on:
- Identifying the truck and its driver who fled the scene
- Determining whether overspeeding or reckless driving was the main cause
- Checking if road visibility or signage contributed to the crash
- Interviewing witnesses for corroborating statements
Police spokesperson said that the investigation is ongoing and more details will be shared once CCTV footage and forensic analyses are complete.
How to Drive Safe on Noida Highways
Stay under speed limits, especially at night. Check mirrors before overtaking. Luxury cars like Jaguar tempt fast rides with powerful engines—over 400 horsepower in models here—but control matters more. Parents, talk to teens about risks; one wrong move ends dreams.
