A Lamborghini that struck and injured two pedestrians on a footpath near an under-construction building in Sector 94, Noida, on Sunday, belonged to a popular YouTuber but was being driven by another person on a test drive, according to the police.
Investigations revealed that Deepak, a car dealer, had travelled to Noida to test drive the Lamborghini, which was registered in Pondicherry. “The owner, Mridul Tiwari, a resident of Noida and a YouTuber with over 18 million subscribers, was selling the car, and Deepak had come to check its condition,” the ADCP said.
A labourer who was injured in the accident told Republic TV that the Lamborghini was approaching them at a speed of 300 km/hour. However, the police have not yet released any official statement regarding the car’s actual speed at the time of the crash.
The red Lamborghini Huracan involved in the incident has garnered significant attention. As a mid-engine sports car built for high speeds, it is among Lamborghini’s most iconic models globally.
