Delhi Flyover Collapse: Auto-rickshaw Plunges into Crater, Chaos Ensues
Heavy rainfall on Thursday, September 4, 2025, triggered a section of the NH-44 flyover near Delhi to collapse. A significant crater formed, swallowing an auto-rickshaw.
The auto-rickshaw driver sustained injuries and was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital. His condition is currently being assessed.
Authorities have closed the flyover indefinitely, diverting traffic to alternative routes. This has led to massive traffic jams and delays across the region.
The incident highlights serious concerns about the structural integrity of the city’s infrastructure, especially given the increasing intensity of monsoon rains. Investigations are underway to determine the exact cause of the collapse and ensure similar incidents are prevented in the future. Commuters are urged to use alternative routes and exercise caution.
