When they reached the Ring Road stretch near Shantivan, the SUV hit the divider and its tyre burst, after which, Satyaprakash lost control.
The SUV then rammed into a pavement where three rickshaw-pullers were taking rest. After the crash, the vehicle overturned, with the driver and the doctor’s son trapped inside.
