Six people were injured on Sunday afternoon after what sources claim to be a speeding Lamborghini jumped a curb on VIP Road at Gwaltoli, Kanpur, crushing bikes, autos, and pedestrians. Angered onlookers gathered at the scene, where the Lamborghini crashed into an electricity pole after the accident.
Multiple eyewitness accounts describe how the luxury vehicle jumped over two-wheelers parked near Rev-3 Mall close to 3 pm before it smashed into the auto and jumped the curb onto VIP Road and struck bystanders and several parked vehicles.
One witness said, “The victim riding the two-wheeler in front of the car was tossed up at least 10 feet in air after getting hit by the car.”
Locals Accuse Driver of Driving Under Influence
Police claim that the Lamborghini belongs to tobacco businessman KK Mishra’s son, Shivam Mishra. Multiple eyewitnesses have accused Mishra of driving under the influence of alcohol while videos show him refusing to stop at the scene after hitting bystanders.
“He was driving drunk,” an eyewitness added. “I live just opposite the spot where the incident took place.”
Security Personnel Allegedly Prevented Civilians from Helping Victims
Videos and witnesses of the scene show locals gathered around the vehicle shouting at the driver while civilians claim miscreants attempted to stop them from reaching the injured to provide aid. Witnesses said the vehicle had security personnel accompanying the driver who attempted to stop the mob from reaching the victims.
“The civilian helping the injured somehow jumped past the security personnel of the car,” another witness stated.

The Lamborghini has been taken into police custody and is likely to be booked through an FIR soon after the police collect all necessary evidence and statements from witnesses at the hospital.
Mishra’s son allegedly tried to escape from the accident spot with the help of his bouncers, who were in another car. However, people nearby stopped him. Videos show him inside the car, but no case has been registered against him yet.
