KOLKATA: Reckless driving in the Kolkata airport's operational area led
to a needless accident on Thursday morning that could cripple the victim
for life. The errant driver was arrested after IndiGo whose ground
staff suffered the injury filed a police complaint.
The accident happened around 6.56 am, shortly after IndiGo flight 6E 906 to Delhi received the go-ahead for departure. Amit Singh, a security person with the airline deputed on bay no. 27, was watching the flight depart when a Reliance fuel bowser knocked him down from behind. Though Singh let out a scream, it was muffled by the noise of the aircraft engine. Before his colleagues to react, the bowser's front wheel drove over his legs, crushing it.
Horrified by the accident, the other ground staff screamed and waved in unison, drawing the attention of Abhishek Kumar who was at the wheel of the tanker. Sensing something was amiss, Kumar stepped on the brake pedal. But by the time it halted, his legs were under the rear wheel.
