Samruddhi Expressway sees 39 deaths in accidents since launch in Dec 2022
A total of 39 persons have lost their lives and 143 were injured in accidents on the Mumbai-Nagpur Samruddhi Expressway since its launch in December 2022 till the end of April this year, a senior police official has said.
Addressing the media on Friday, the State Highway Police official said “road hypnotism” was one of the causes of these accidents.
Road hypnosis, also called white line fever, is an altered mental state faced by drivers due to “automaticity” or the process of doing things automatically without actively thinking about the steps involved.
