The BMW had a ‘VIP’ registration number, which is usually auctioned to interested car enthusiasts. Its driver has gone missing after the accident.
India is witnessing widespread outrage over rash driving, which intensified after a drunken 17-year-old in Pune was let off in a drink driving case with punishment as lenient as writing an essay on the accident. The son of a prominent builder in the city, who had crashed his Porsche Taycan and killed two 24-year-old techies, is now in a remand home.
In another incident that followed the Pune accident, an elderly man died after being hit by a speeding Audi while crossing the road in Noida.
Transport ministry data suggests India has witnessed 67,000 hit-and-run incidents and over 30,000 related deaths in 2022, the latest year for which the figures are available.
