In a shocking incident, a speeding car fatally hit an elderly walking on the edge of the Kudra Budruk highway in Maharashtra's Malkapur on Monday afternoon.
The purported video of the incident that surfaced on social media shows the maroon-coloured car slightly veering off from its path and hitting the elderly walking on the side of the road. The impact of the hit was so hard that it sent the victim flying in the air as seen in the video. Further, the video shows that soon after the car hit the elderly it turned back on the highway and sped away.

Probe on
Reports further suggest that the police have launched an investigation into the matter and are probing the case from two angles as they think that the way the car hit the elderly does not feel it is a case of only hit-and-run.
