A routine Saturday evening in Ranapratap Nagar in Nagpur, Maharashtra turned tragic within seconds after a speeding car allegedly driven recklessly hit a scooter and then struck a pedestrian, leaving one woman dead and a teenager injured.

The crash took place around 6 pm on the road connecting Radhemangal Hall to Swaroop Nagar, near Vijaya Hospital. According to a report by The Times of India, the car first rammed into a scooter being ridden by 19-year-old woman. The impact threw her onto the road, leaving her injured.

Police said the driver did not stop after hitting the scooter. The car allegedly went out of control and then hit a 61-year-old woman, who was walking nearby. The vehicle eventually crashed into an electric pole and a distribution panel (DP) box. It was only after hitting the pole that the car finally came to a halt and the driver stepped out.

A CCTV video of the incident, now viral on X, shows the woman walking along the road moments before the car comes speeding into frame. Within seconds, the collision takes place, capturing the sudden and devastating turn of events.

Anger Takes Over Comments

The incident has triggered strong reactions online. One user wrote, “Now the judge will ask him to write an essay and let him go with a warning. Courts and justice are a joke in India."
