LUCKNOW: A car lost control and rammed into an ATM kiosk near PICUP Bhawan in
Vibhuti Khand on Thursday night after missing by a whisker
two men on a bike who swerved in the nick of time, but only to hit a light pole ahead.
While the bikers have sustained head injuries, the three occupants of the car managed to escape.
According to ATM guard Manish Singh, the accident took place around 9.30pm. He said he heard a screeching noise and saw the car hurtling towards the kiosk. It missed the bikers, but crashed into the kiosk. Passers-by pulled the three men out of the car and dealt a few blows before they ran away, Manish said.
The injured bikers - identified as Shivam Lal (27) of Kaiserbagh and Mohammad Asif (27) of Aminabad - were rushed to Ram Manohar Lohia hospital. The car and bike were seized.
Vibhuti Khand SHO Rajiv Dwivedi said apart from damages in the front caused due to the crash, the car had a fresh dent on the right side below the bonnet. "The shape and size of the dent, as well as the guard's statement, indicate the car was hit by another vehicle before it lost control," he added.
The car is registered with Noida RTO in the name of a woman. Skating shoes, a glass and a school bag were found in it.
