# Six injured as car hits concrete barriers at Gurugram chowk 2026-08-21T05:11:12+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Six people, including two children, were injured when their car crashed into concrete barriers at AIT Chowk on Golf Course Road in Gurugram early Wednesday. The families were returning to Delhi from Gurugram between 3.30am and 4am when the Hyundai Exter hit a U-turn created by multiple heavy barriers. The driver Kunal Chawla alleged poor lighting, missing warning signs and no reflective tape made the barriers invisible. A police official said visibility issues likely caused the crash. Commuters pulled the victims from the wrecked car and took them to a hospital, the families later shifted to Delhi for further treatment. No complaint has been filed yet. Gurugram police said this is the first such crash at the spot in months and traffic officials will inspect it if required. All six suffered non-fatal injuries, with two children among the injured. ## Indian Opinion Analysis AIT Chowk is one of several Gurugram junctions where concrete barriers are used to enforce U-turn restrictions, a practice that has drawn complaints from motorists for years. The absence of reflective tape or warning signs at such barriers is a known road-safety gap under the Motor Vehicles Act, which requires traffic control devices to be conspicuously marked. Municipal corporations and the Gurugram traffic police share jurisdiction over road furniture, inspections triggered by a crash can lead to temporary fixes but rarely systemic upgrades. Previous crashes on Golf Course Road, a high-speed corridor, have resulted in court petitions seeking better lighting and signage, though no State-wide audit has been ordered. The driver's choice to file a complaint or sue the authorities will determine whether this case forces an engineering review or remains an isolated accident report. Watch for an FIR filing or a traffic police inspection report in the coming week. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Led with the crash detail and officials' comments that this is the first such incident in months, no framing of blame or demand for action This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
