New Delhi:
A 17-year-old girl returning with friends after a birthday celebration was killed in Delhi when her car, speeding on the wrong side, rammed two other cars and a divider before flipping over, the police said. Seven people in the three vehicles were wounded.
Priya Shukla, a class 12 student, was in the car with three friends around midnight when the accident took place in north Delhi's Sarai Rohilla. She was killed on the spot. Dev, whose birthday was celebrated, is critically wounded and is in hospital.
It is not clear yet who was driving. Two others in the car ran away, the police say.
The police say the car was being driven at a high speed when it hit a tempo and a Hyundai i-10 car.
An elderly couple, Mustafa and Handed Khatoon, and their five-year-old grandson, were travelling in the tempo. They were also injured, the police said. So were the three men in the Hyundai car.
The police are looking for Priya Shukla's missing friends. They are also investigating whether the driver was drunk.
