NEW DELHI: The 45-year-old woman who was killed after she was flung out of her SUV on Bharat Nagar flyover was allegedly not wearing a seat belt, initial investigation has suggested. The police have roped in forensic officials from a Rohini lab to get clarity on the clash and death.
"Not wearing a seat belt can cause fatal injuries. Research shows that they reduce the risk of fatal injury to front-seat passengers by half. It is a possibility that the woman's life could have been saved had she used the seat belt," a senior police officer said. In a number of accidents, not wearing seat belts have caused injuries to the head, chest, abdomen, neck and spine apart from whiplash, brain and skeletal injuries, the officer added.
