Instead of Helping the Injured, Locals Loot Soft Drink Crates
According to local police, the vehicle lost control after one of its tyres burst, causing it to flip over on the highway. As the crates of soft drinks spilled across the road, passersby and local motorists seized the opportunity — not to assist the injured — but to pick up and carry away the fallen drink cases.
While a few responsible locals reportedly helped shift the injured to a nearby hospital, others were seen walking away with as many crates as they could carry.

Scene Goes Viral on Social Media
Some bystanders captured the entire scene on video, showing people rushing to grab soft drink crates instead of helping accident victims. These videos were soon shared on social media, quickly going viral and sparking outrage over the lack of basic human decency.
Police Arrive to Clear the Highway
After being informed, police reached the accident spot, removed the overturned vehicle, and cleared the traffic congestion. An investigation into the incident is currently underway, and authorities are also reviewing video footage for possible action against those seen looting.
A Stark Reminder of Social Responsibility
This incident serves as a reminder of the need for public awareness and empathy during road accidents. Instead of helping victims, the prioritization of looting exposes a concerning lack of civic sense that continues to plague some accident response situations in India.
