One of the victims of the Lamborghini car crash that took place in Noida, claimed that the car was running at a speed of 300 km/hour. Two labourers from Chhattisgarh were injured after a Lamborghini hit them on a footpath adjacent to an under-construction building in Noida’s sector 94 on Sunday.
The victim told Republic TV that the Lamborghini that hit them was travelling apparently at a speed of 300 km/hour.
“A car was coming at a speed of 300 kmph. All three of us fell inside the drain after getting hit by the car. He was driving at 300 kmph,” the labourer was quoted as saying by Republic TV.
The victims were taken to hospital following the accident. They have suffered a fracture in their legs, according to police cited by PTI.
Meanwhile, the police arrested the car driver, identified as Deepak, a resident of Ajmer, and seized the car.
A probe found that Deepak, a car dealer, had visited Noida to test drive a Pondicherry-registered car. “The owner, Mridul Tiwari, a resident of Noida and a YouTuber with over 18 million subscribers, was selling the car and Deepak had come to check its condition,” Noida ADCP Sumit Shukla informed HT.
While the police are yet to release any official statement on the issue, the driver of the car told the officials during interrogation that the accident happened due to a fault in the vehicle.
Bhupendra Singh, In-charge at Sector 126 Police Station told PTI, “In the car accident two labourers were injured and they were from Chhattisgarh. They are out of danger and have fractures in their legs.”
The accident happened adjacent to an under-construction building, he said.
Notably, the accused in the car accident, Deepak, was arrested by the Noida police. However, his name has not been mentioned in the FIR, which was filed based on the complaint by an eyewitness, who is also the relative of one of the injured labourers.
Meanwhile, the owner of the car, Mridul, has been asked by police to appear for questioning.
