# Narela crash victim Urmila Bhardwaj’s eyes donated 2026-08-11T01:59:30+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The family of 70-year-old Urmila Bhardwaj, who was crushed between vehicles in Narela last Saturday, has donated her eyes to an eye bank in Daryaganj. Her grandson Devesh said they wanted to give her a meaningful farewell by restoring sight to someone else. The family described her as a compassionate woman who spent her life caring for family and animals. She was feeding insects on the street when the crash occurred. The accident happened around 8 am on a narrow road when a Mercedes-Benz collided head-on with a WagonR, pushing it into a parked three-wheeler where Bhardwaj stood. The Mercedes driver was granted bail as the charges are bailable. Devesh expressed anguish that the family has not been informed about the probe and that their statements remain unrecorded. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Delhi, eye donation, hit-and-run, Mercedes-Benz, Narela crash, road accident Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/narela-crash-victim-urmila-bhardwajs-eyes-donated/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
