The driver of the supercar, Anukool Rishi was thrown out of the car
because of the impact and reportedly, he was not wearing a seatbelt. The
entire right side of the Lamborghini Gallardo sportscar was ripped
apart due to the high speed crash. According to Police, Anukool who was

The supercar jumped a lane separator before ramming side on into
railings near Panchsheel at Krishi Vihar Bus stand. Severity of damage
to the supercar and the railings suggests Anukool was driving at over
140 kmph. 20 spokes of the railing were broken as the Lamborghini kept
moving forward after impact for about 150 meters.
Kishan, a cyclist was hit by the Lamborghini before it came to a stop

crash, I saw broken railings on the right side of the road. The orange
car was wrecked and a cycle was lying nearby. Two injured people were
lying by the roadside. The cyclist was alive and shouting for help. But
the driver of the car was badly injured and his stomach bore the brunt
of the injury. I immediately made a PCR call.”

call around 5.15am. We rushed the victims to the AIIMS Trauma Centre
where the driver of the Lamborghini was found dead while the other

happened due to his fault.”
