A cab driver was killed after a BMW car rammed his Wagon R car at south Delhi
A private cab driver was killed last night after a speeding BMW car crashed into his car at a prominent intersection in south Delhi.
Nazrul Islam, 32, was from West Bengal. He died instantly. His cab, a Wagon R, was almost completely wrecked.
The driver of the BMW has been arrested.
The BMW was also badly mangled in the accident that took place around 11.30 on Sunday night. Yesterday, the BMW driver had run away.
The police say both the cars were moving from Kalkaji to Vasant Vihar when they collided. The impact was such that the Wagon R was flung in the air and skidded for a few metres before coming to a stop.
The BMW was being driven at breakneck speed; the driver lost control and hit the cab.
The police have accessed CCTV footage near the accident site and are trying to establish who was driving the BMW.
Nazrul has a wife and two children aged two and four.
An eyewitness who described the crash as being "loud like a bomb blast", called the police.
