Pune Accident Video: A woman suffered serious injuries after being struck by a car in the Bhosari area of Maharashtra's Pimpri-Chinchwad on Wednesday afternoon, according to local police. The incident, captured on CCTV footage, showed the woman being hit by a car as she crossed the road, causing her to be thrown into the air and land some distance away. She was immediately taken to a private hospital for treatment of her injuries.
Following a complaint by the woman's brother, police arrested the driver of the car, identified as Vinay Vilas Naykere, under sections 279 and 337 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and other provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act. Naykere, 24, is the son of a police official, according to regional media reports.
