An eyewitness, a security guard, told Mid-Day, “The BMW car was speeding and crashed into the Hyundai car, causing it to lose balance and climb onto the footpath. The pedestrian was seriously injured and was rushed to the hospital by the BMW car driver.”

The complainant refused to file any complaint, and we have not registered any FIR in this matter.”

The owner of the Hyundai car told Mid-Day, “The incident happened because of the BMW car driver who was speeding and damaged my vehicle. The BMW car hit my car from behind, causing it to crash into a street pole on the footpath and injure a man. It was not my fault as I was driving my car slowly. My car was still at the spot, and the cops didn’t allow me to take my car. However, they allowed the BMW car driver to take their car home.”
