A 70-year-old woman, Urmila Bhardwaj, was fatally injured when a Mercedes-Benz collided head-on with a WagonR in Narela, Outer Delhi, on Saturday morning. The smaller car then crashed into a parked three-wheeler, trapping Urmila between the vehicles. Police arrested the 27-year-old Mercedes driver, Subham Sharma, son of a Haryana Police sub-inspector.
Family members claim Sharma was speeding and under the influence of alcohol, as evidenced by an empty liquor bottle found in his car and a beer bottle visible in a video taken by local residents after the crash. Subham, who had just returned from a party with friends, was reportedly driving recklessly. The Mercedes sustained significant front-end damage, with airbags deployed, while the WagonR was also severely damaged.
Urmila, who was standing near the three-wheeler, was pronounced dead at a hospital. Her family claims she was injured due to the high-speed collision. Both the driver's wife and her husband sustained minor injuries. Police are investigating the incident under sections related to rash driving, danger or obstruction in public ways, and causing death by negligence.
