VADODARA: A woman was killed on the spot and four others sustained injuries when a speeding car driven by a 20-year-old law student crashed into their two-wheelers in Gujarat’s Vadodara city in the early hours of Friday, police said.The accident occurred around 12.30 am near Muktanand crossroads in the Karelibaug area, following which the driver, Rakshit Chaurasiya, was arrested, said Deputy Commissioner of Police Panna Momaya.It could be a case of drunk driving as eyewitnesses, who caught Chaurasiya at the scene, told the police that he appeared intoxicated and was screaming “Another round, another round” after coming out of the car, the official said.The deceased woman has been identified as Hemali Patel, who was riding her scooter at the time of the accident.Chaurasiya, who originally hails from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, is a law student and lives in a PG accommodation here, Momaya told reporters.”The car belonged to his friend Mit Chauhan, who was sitting in the co-driver’s seat when Chaurasiya rammed the car into some two-wheelers at full speed while going towards Muktanand Circle,” she said.”Efforts are being made to track down Chauhan,” the official said.
