Car race ends in fatal accident, two killed
August 18th, 2010 - 1:56 am ICT by IANSChandigarh, Aug 18 (IANS) A car race between two groups of youngsters ended in a fatal accident Tuesday night, killing two people on a motorcycle including a seven-year-old boy, police said.
According to police, the accident occurred near the dividing road of upscale Sectors 2 and 3 here - close to the official residences of both Punjab and Haryana chief ministers.
“The rashly driven Honda Accord car, which was being driven by a woman, hit a bike from the rear. The victims, identified as Satinder Singh, 19 and his cousin Harpreet Singh, 7, were badly crushed under the wheels of the car,” said a police official.
“Another woman was sitting on the front seat. The impact of the collision was so strong that the air bags of the car inflated. Both the women came out and fled in a Maruti Swift car, with which they were competing in a race.”
Satinder and Harpreet were residents of Kansal village here and they were coming from a government hospital after taking medicines for Satinder’s ailing mother.
Their cousin Sarabjit Singh was driving along them on a separate motor-cycle. He was the only eye-witness in this case.
Police have registered a case and started investigations.
“We have started raiding various places in Chandigarh and in the nearby areas to catch the accused,” said a police official.
