A high-end Lamborghini hit two pedestrians on a footpath near an under-construction building in Noida’s Sector 94 on Sunday, police said. The injured, both laborers from Chhattisgarh, sustained fractures in their legs but are out of danger, officials confirmed. The driver has been identified as Deepak, a resident of Ajmer, and the luxury vehicle is registered in Puducherry. He was arrested at the scene, and the car has been seized, police said.
A purported video of the accident has surfaced online, showing the accused stepping out of his car and asking bystanders, "Koi mar gaya idhar?" (Did anyone die here?). In the same video, a man is heard questioning him about the number of people injured, while another urges the crowd to call the police.
Bhupendra Singh, in charge of the Sector 126 Police Station, said, “The injured laborers were immediately taken to a nearby hospital. They have fractures in their legs but are not in critical condition.” According to Singh, the accused claimed the accident was unintentional and due to an error while driving. The police are investigating further to determine the exact cause of the crash.
This incident once again highlights the dangers of reckless driving in Noida, a city that has witnessed multiple high-speed crashes in recent months. Authorities have urged motorists to exercise caution and follow traffic regulations to prevent such accidents.
