New Delhi: Train movement near Haiderpur Metro Station came to a halt for nearly an hour on Sunday morning after a sedan fell off the Mukarba Chowk flyover and overturned on the railway tracks. The Maruti Ciaz was later removed, allowing rail traffic to resume.

The driver sustained minor injuries and informed police that he had swerved after losing control. Officials added that medical tests are being conducted to verify if he was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.
