There was a brief traffic snarl in the immediate aftermath of the accident. It is not yet clear what led to the collision between these vehicles although police personnel have launched a probe. CCTV footage, if any, would be screened to ascertain if road rules were broken by any of these or other motorists.

Meanwhile, traffic movement on many roads leading into central Delhi was slower than usual owing to VIP movement. Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory for those commuting via ITO, Pragati Maidan and Barapulla.
