According to the police, the BMW overturned because the youth had been driving at a high speed and lost control over the car. The accident took place near RML Hospital around 3am and the driver, identified as Umesh Prasad along with his female friend, was returning from a late night party.

“They were coming from Chanakyapuri area when the SUV hit a road divider. The car overturned at least thrice. The occupants survived only because of the security gadgets installed in the SUV,” said a senior police officer. Prasad is a resident of Sainik Farms.

The second accident took place around 2 am near the INA Metro station in which a Hyundai Verna overturned after hitting a road divider. One Rohit, who was driving the car, suffered minor injuries while the other four occupants escaped unhurt. The accident happened due to some mechanical fault in the front wheels of the car.
