70-year-old woman killed as ‘drunk’ son of Haryana police officer crashes Mercedes in Delhi
Officials said a beer bottle and an empty liquor bottle were found in the sedan and alleged that the luxury Sedan's driver misbehaved when confronted.
A 70-year-old woman lost her life and a family of three, including an eight-year-old girl, sustained injuries when a speeding Mercedes sedan crashed into a hatchback near Narela in northwest Delhi on Saturday morning. The driver, a 27-year-old man, the son of a Haryana Police sub-inspector, was allegedly drunk. Police recovered beer and empty liquor bottles from the Mercedes.
The sedan was returning from a party. The crash resulted in the sedan flinging the hatchback into a parked three-wheeler, crushing a woman pedestrian against it. The Mercedes driver, Shubham Sharma, was arrested and booked for rash and negligent driving causing death and injuries. Sharma had recently purchased the Mercedes but had not completed the ownership transfer paperwork.
The woman killed in the crash was Urmila Devi, whose husband had passed away in 2019. She is survived by two sons. Eyewitnesses claimed Sharma was speeding and behaving recklessly when the accident occurred.
