Speeding SUV Goes On Rampage In Indore's Rau, Hits 3 Two-Wheelers & Tractor; 4 Injured

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): A speeding SUV hit three two-wheelers and a tractor in Rau on Wednesday, leaving four people injured, one of them critically.

Rau police station in-charge Rajpal Singh Rathore told Free Press that the accident occurred in front of Shramik Colony around 11.30 am.

The driver allegedly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake on seeing a bike rider. However, the exact cause of the accident is yet to be ascertained.

The driver, Aman Malviya, first hit a scooter and then two other two-wheelers before ramming into a tractor coming from the opposite direction. The impact caused the tractor to overturn.

Witnesses said that after hitting the two-wheelers, the driver tried to move the car forward, dragging some of the injured for a few feet. A large crowd gathered at the spot.

The injured were identified as Rajpal, Bhagat Singh, Pawan and Mustafa. They included two scooter riders, a bike rider and the tractor driver.

As an ambulance was unavailable, police used a First Response Vehicle (FRV) to take the injured to private hospitals.

Police said Aman owns a car garage on Kesarbagh Road. The SUV, owned by Devendra Joshi, had been brought to the garage for repairs.

Aman had taken it for a test drive after servicing when the accident occurred. Police seized the SUV and took him into custody.
