“In an accident with a white Wagon R, the victim Rekha was injured. She is stable now. The accused, who is a 24-year-old, has been taken into custody and the car seized,” Pimpri-Chinchwad DCP Shivaji Pawar said.
The senior police official confirmed that the driver of the speeding car was not under the influence of alcohol, suggesting that initial investigations indicate a loss of control over the vehicle as the likely cause.
This incident has occurred nearly a month after another tragic event in Pune’s Kalyani Nagar area, where a 17-year-old boy, purportedly driving an unregistered Porsche Taycan while intoxicated, tragically collided with and killed two IT professionals.
