The accident adds to a series of similar crashes involving luxury cars. Last month, a Lamborghini Huracan hit two labourers in Noida while a speeding Porsche Cayenne car allegedly crashed into two scooters in Chandigarh, killing one man and injuring two women.

Around the same time, a 23-year-old law student from Prayagraj, crashed a Volkswagen Virtus sedan he was driving into three vehicles in Gujarat's Vadodara, resulting in the death of one woman.
