Six people were injured after a Lamborghini allegedly driven by the son of a prominent tobacco businessman lost control and crashed into multiple vehicles before mounting the pavement in Kanpur on Sunday afternoon.
The driver has been identified as Shivam Mishra, son of businessman K.K. Mishra. The incident took place around 3:15 pm near Rev-3 Mall in the Ring Wala area, triggering panic among bystanders.
Eyewitnesses reported that the speeding luxury car first struck an auto-rickshaw and then slammed into a parked Royal Enfield motorcycle. The impact reportedly threw the biker nearly 10 feet into the air. The vehicle dragged the motorcycle for some distance before colliding with an electric pole, which finally brought it to a halt.
Several people standing along the roadside were also hit during the crash. Soon after the incident, locals gathered at the spot and surrounded the car.
Witnesses further alleged that private security personnel arrived and removed the driver from the vehicle, taking him away in another car. The damaged Lamborghini was later transported to Gwaltoli police station, where it attracted large crowds before being covered with a tarp.
The driver&rsquo;s family has claimed that he suffers from a medical condition and may have experienced a seizure while driving, leading to the loss of control. Police are currently verifying this claim as part of their investigation and examining the circumstances surrounding the crash.
