The crash took place around 12.41pm on Monday when an Audi Q8 E-tron was found mangled behind a truck. No other injuries have been reported.

According to police, the owner of the car has been identified as Vikas Narag, a resident of DLF Farms in Chattarpur. The vehicle was being driven by Narag’s driver, Babu Rai, who will be booked for alleged rash driving after due enquiry, police said.

DCP (southeast) Hemant Tiwari said that the car had lost control and struck three parked cars. “The momentum of the vehicle caused it to crash into the back of a stationary truck which was nearby. The Audi was severely damaged and the driver sustained injuries during the impact. No other citizens or bystanders were injured in the incident,” he said.

Further, police said no signs of drinking and driving or other foul play were found. “We suspect that there was some technical or mechanical failure in the car which caused the accident. Rai had dropped Narang to his office and was returning to Chattarpur when the accident took place…” the DCP added.

Police said the other cars were slightly damaged and their owners were contacted.

In another incident, a car hit a motorcycle on the South Avenue Road on Monday morning, injuring the 30-year-old bike rider. Police rushed to the spot and the injured was taken to RML: Hospital, where he is said to be in a stable condition.
