Hi Friends,
Just wanted to share something with you guys about the accident that happens few days back, could not post earlier cos have been busy with work, in fact overloaded.
The other day while on the way back from my office at around 12:30 pm, near to KR Puram bridge, met with an accident.
Its a one way road, and some crazy guy just got of the bar totally drunk to the core, moved in the opposite direction, though being one way, came and hit directly on the driver side of my car.
I was driving at 60 with my seat belts on, and all glasses up.
I was safe not even a scratch on my body..
The other person first hit my car and then went and hit directly on to the bridge walls. Even he was well, with no injury.
I came out of the car and checked the damage it was bad, the tyre got busted, rims bent, bumper all broken, with the wiper liquid falling down.
I felt so helpless, with no reason of mine, my car got a bad shape.
The cops came immediately on the scene and started noting my car s and the other cars no, all the details etc.
Could not find a crane so left my car there itself and moved in the morning to the police station.
And guess what the other guy got his crane and ran away with his car..
And then the other day when i asked cops what about the other car, they say that he ran away, and i should have caught him and kept him in my custody till morning.
Anyways i filed the case against him for Drunken Driving and Another for Hit and Run case. I said u have the persons car and mobile and address and every information, then why dont you catch him, they say that he might have changed his car, or maybe his residence and it would take three months for them to trace him.
After hearing their crap, and after waiting for hours they gave me the FIR copy, and i come back home with my vehicle still in the police station, cos they insisted that only after the motor inspection is done, they would release the vehicle, i had no choice, left the vehicle there itself. The guy who towed the vehicle warned me that, the parts might get flicked, so i should remove everything that might of some value. I got my speakers and other utensils out. But still could not sleep for the entire night, was worried what if they stole some of the parts.
The other day i got the inspector, paid him 500 bucks (he asked for his fees guys)
AFter that towed the car to the bimal showroom whitefiled.
Total estimate came upto 30,000 and i had to cough up 3000 as my liability.
The car looks new now, they did a good job i must say cheers:
I went to the police station to check on the status, and now they say that they have arrested the driver and sent him to court, where he was charged 5000 bucks and then released. I was like just 5000 bucks and released, they said that s the maximum law can do.
Are they true guys, is that law, i mean this is crazy.
I hope they are not lying to me, and taken money from the other party and trying to close the case.
Is there any way i can sue that crazy drunken man, i just wana make his life impossible
. Please let me know what can i do....
