Chaos ensued as an SUV driver rammed into a parked car in Sector 32 on Chandigarh Road, propelling the vehicle about 15 feet onto a sand pile, officials said.
The incident was captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras installed in the area.
Locals alleged that this wasn’t the driver’s first such offence.
“He has already damaged three cars in the neighborhood,” said Mahendra Grover, a resident.
Grover said he and his friends had returned to their homes shortly before the crash. Alerted by a loud crash, the locals checked the CCTV footage and found that the Mahindra Scorpio had rammed multiple cars.
Locals said they called the police, but the accused escaped by scaling a compound wall before cops arrived at the scene.
Sub-inspector Bhupinder Singh said the police will take action after investigating the matter.
