A tragic accident unfolded in Hapur, Uttar Pradesh, when a speeding car lost control and rammed into a roadside restaurant, leaving one person dead and three others seriously injured. The horrifying incident, which occurred late on the night of June 30, was captured on CCTV and has since gone viral on social media.
According to reports, the restaurant, located adjacent to the national highway, was busy with patrons at the time of the crash. Several people had just stepped outside after finishing their meals, while others were seated at the front of the establishment.
Without warning, a Swift car—traveling at high speed—veered off the highway, plowing into the group of people outside the restaurant. The impact was so forceful that some victims were thrown into the air before the car finally came to a stop after hitting the restaurant’s wall.
Eyewitnesses reported scenes of chaos and panic as bystanders rushed to help the injured. One person succumbed to injuries at the scene, while three others sustained critical injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital.
