On Camera, Thar Driver Hits Multiple Vehicles In Noida Sector 16, Then Speeds Away

Police said the accused, identified as Sachin Kumar Lohia, a resident of Morna village, was arrested on Wednesday, and his Thar has been confiscated.

Giving details of the incident, police said Lohia had recently purchased a second-hand Thar, and on Tuesday afternoon drove to the Sector 16 car market to get some speakers installed. At the market, officers said, Lohia got into a verbal altercation with some people, and enraged, the 33-year-old got into his car and drove recklessly through the market, ramming multiple vehicles on the way.

A 12-second video of the episode emerged on social media, in which a black Thar driving on the wrong side of the road was seen ramming a grey Maruti WagonR, then slamming into a few parked motorcycles — a number of which fell over — and then narrowly missing a white Maruti Swift, before colliding with a white scooter (the driver managed to hastily get off) and then speed away.
