Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A speeding SUV caused widespread damage after crashing into two parked autorickshaws before crashing into a restaurant at Lalghati Crossing under the Koh-e-Fiza police station limits.
The occupants of the vehicle abandoned the SUV and fled, police said.
According to reports, the accident occurred at 2.30 am on Wednesday when the SUV, coming from the Gandhi Nagar side, lost control after hitting two autorickshaws parked at the stand.
The vehicle then crossed the road and rammed into a restaurant owned by Raghuveer Yadav, a resident of Airport Road.
The impact was so severe that the restaurant's main shutter and a pillar broke, causing extensive damage to the property. Fearing the weakened structure could collapse, the owner did not immediately enter the premises to estimate the losses.
Based on the restaurant owner's complaint, Koh-e-Fiza police have registered a case against the unidentified driver and launched a search to trace those involved.
The exact value of the damage is yet to be assessed, but it is estimated to be worth several lakhs of rupees.
