At least one person was killed and two others sustained injuries after a Mercedes G63 car ploughed into three pedestrians in south Delhi’s Vasant Kunj area in the early hours of Sunday.
According to the Delhi Police, the incident took place at 2:33 am near Ambience Mall.
“A PCR call regarding a road accident was received at PS Vasant Kunj North at about 2:33 am. Upon arrival, a Mercedes G63 was found in an accidental condition, and three injured persons aged 23, 35, and 23 years—all employees of a restaurant in Ambience Mall—were found lying injured at the spot,” a Delhi Police said.
Officials later confirmed that one of the three victims succumbed to his injuries, while the two others are undergoing treatment. The driver of the luxury SUV has been identified and taken into custody.
“The driver, identified as Shivam (29 years), a resident of Karol Bagh, New Delhi, has been apprehended. At the time of the incident, he was driving the vehicle along with his wife and elder brother. As per the preliminary enquiry, the vehicle lost balance due to a diversion, resulting in the car hitting a pole where the three victims were standing at an auto stand,” the police added.
Further investigation into the accident is underway.
