Both the women were walking on the roadside talking and were completely unaware of the fact that within a few moments death was approaching from behind them. Then suddenly a very fast and uncontrolled car coming from behind crossed all limits and directly hit both the women. The impact was so strong that the victim jumped and fell straight on the bonnet of the car.

The extent of suspense and cruelty: Pressed the accelerator instead of applying the brakes.
The most horrifying and shocking aspect of this accident began right after the collision. Generally, in such accidents, drivers get nervous and apply brakes, but it seemed as if the unknown car rider was bleeding. As soon as the victim fell from the bonnet and got trapped in the lower part (chassis) of the vehicle, the driver increased the speed of the vehicle instead of stopping or helping. The car dragged the helpless woman mercilessly on the road for about 10 metres. In this chaos, a heavy tire of the car went ahead, crushing the woman’s head and chest. At the time of the collision, the woman’s friend was lucky that she moved away from the direction of the vehicle, due to which she suffered only minor injuries, but her friend was killed in front of her eyes.
That third eye: Clue of the killer vehicle captured in the footage
The whole truth of this hair-raising accident came to light when the police examined the security cameras installed around the incident site. This horrifying scene has been recorded exactly in a CCTV camera installed nearby. It can be clearly seen in the footage how a speeding car crushes both the women, drags the victim and then without wasting a moment, flees from the spot like a murderer.
