Bengalore: A major tragedy was narrowly averted in Bengaluru’s Indiranagar late Thursday night after a speeding car lost control, jumped a road divider, and crashed into a restaurant on 100 Feet Road. The dramatic incident, which left pedestrians scrambling for safety, was captured on nearby CCTV cameras.
CCTV Captures High-Speed Crash
The footage shows a Skoda car approaching the junction from 18th Main Road at high speed. Instead of slowing down to negotiate a turn, the vehicle barrels straight ahead, mounts the divider, and briefly goes airborne. In the process, it clips a two-wheeler before smashing into the outer wall of a Barbeque Nation restaurant. A group of people standing outside the eatery is seen escaping the crash by seconds.
