Vadodara hit-and-run case
The incident in Noida reminds us of the horrific hit-and-run case in Gujarat's Vadodara earlier this month, in which a woman was killed on the spot and four others sustained injuries when a speeding car driven by a 20-year-old law student crashed into their two-wheelers.
The accident occurred around 12.30 am near Muktanand cross roads in Vadodara's Karelibaug area following which the driver, Rakshit Chaurasiya, was arrested, PTI reported.
