A car driver allegedly drove at high speed and rammed into five two-wheelers, including motorcycles and scooters, parked along the roadside. Questions have also been raised over whether the incident was a case of reckless driving under the influence of alcohol or a deliberate attempt to harm someone.

Dispute Outside Hotel Before the Incident

According to reports, the car driver was allegedly involved in a heated argument outside a hotel located along the National Highway before the incident. Following the altercation, the driver reportedly got into the car and drove away at high speed, hitting five motorcycles and scooters parked along the roadside.

Parts of the incident were reportedly captured on CCTV cameras. The footage has reportedly raised further questions about the circumstances leading to the collisions. However, the exact sequence of events and the motive behind the incident are yet to be established.

After receiving information about the incident, a police PCR team reached the spot and rescued the driver from the crowd.

Police Probe Possible Attempt to Murder

The altercation outside the hotel and the subsequent collisions have raised questions about whether the two incidents were connected. Investigators will need to establish whether the driver lost control of the vehicle due to intoxication and reckless driving or deliberately drove into the parked two-wheelers with the intention of attacking someone.

CCTV footage and other available evidence are expected to play a crucial role in determining the sequence of events. Police are investigating the incident, and the circumstances surrounding the collisions remain unclear.

Whether the incident involved an intentional attempt to harm someone or was solely the result of reckless driving will become clear only after a thorough investigation and an official statement from the police.
