A Lamborghini car hit two pedestrians on a footpath adjacent to an under-construction building in Noida’s Sector 94 on Sunday evening.
The injured— labourers from Chhattisgarh—have been rushed to a nearby hospital where they both are said to be out of danger. Both of them have suffered fracture in their legs, said police.
However, what turned out to be more shocking was the alleged insensitive reaction of the car driver to the accident.
A purported video showed workers wearing safety helmets and orange jackets running towards the car which stopped on the footpath after the accident.

Alerted by the locals, police reached the spot and arrested the driver and took the vehicle into custody.
