In a bizarre and alarming incident, a woman under the influence of alcohol drove her car directly onto active railway tracks in Telangana, severely disrupting train services and endangering lives. The dramatic event occurred near the Yakutpura railway station in Hyderabad and left the police scrambling to remove the woman and the vehicle from danger.
According to reports, the woman was intoxicated when she mistakenly entered the railway tracks and continued to drive along the route. The car got stuck on the tracks, prompting a major safety alert. A video that has gone viral on social media shows police officers struggling to reason with the woman, who appeared disoriented and resistant to their efforts.
Her reckless action led to the diversion of at least 15 trains and halted services on one of the busiest routes in the region. Authorities acted swiftly to prevent a disaster by stopping approaching trains and initiating rescue efforts.
Eventually, the car was removed with the help of cranes and personnel from the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and local police. No injuries were reported, but the incident caused widespread disruption and delays.
Officials have stated that further legal action will be taken against the woman for endangering public safety and obstructing railway operations.
The incident has sparked discussions online about road safety awareness and stricter enforcement of DUI laws across India.
