Chandigarh, March 11
A man riding an Activa scooter was killed while two women riding another two-wheeler were grievously injured when speeding a Porsche car, reportedly moving in the wrong direction, hit them in Chandigarh’s upscale Sector 4 area.
The impact of the collision was so severe that the scooter rider's body was cut into two pieces. The Porsche car first hit a motorcycle as it was going towards Raj Bhavan.
As it lost control, the car collided with scooter-riding young women before crashing into a pole.
The scooter rider, named Ankit, was admitted to the PGI with critical injuries, where he later died.
The two injured women were admitted to the Government Multi Specialty Hospital in Sector 16.
As per preliminary investigations, the high-end luxury car is registered in the name of Sanjeev, a resident of Sector 21.
Police are probing the reasons for the accident, including the possibility of over-speeding and reckless driving.
According to eyewitnesses, the Activa got struck into the front engine of the car and was dragged several metres before crashing first with an electricity pole, then a traffic signboard and finally crashing into a tree.
