In a shocking incident, a 31-year-old businessman - Sagar J Rao - was killed, and four others including his wife and six-year-old son were injured. On Tuesday afternoon, the family had gone to test drive a Range Rover from a Roopena Agrahara showroom and during the test-drive, the car met with a terrible accident.
According to the police, the car was travelling at a very high speed and hit the divider in the middle of the road. Sagar sustained grievous injuries and died en route to the hospital, while his wife, Sandhya Sagar, son Samartha, Sagar’s friend Gautham and demo car driver Shivakumar sustained injuries. Shivakumar was in the passenger seat in the front and they moved towards Hosakerehalli Ring Road when the accident occurred around 3 pm, reported Times Of India.
He lost his control while approaching a toll plaza near PES college and that was when he drove his car to the extreme left and initially hit a cement block and later the road railings.
“The driver was driving at a high speed and lost his control while approaching a toll plaza near PES College. He veered the car to the extreme left and initially hit a cement block and later the road railings. The car jumped the railings and flipped over several times before landing in a 10-meter-deep ditch,” a police officer told TOI.
Shivakumar is being treated at another private hospital. “All the injured persons are in a state of shock and we have decided to record their statement about the accident on Wednesday,” a police officer said. Only their statements will make it clear who was driving the car, he added.
Sagar was an interior designer and had been planning to buy a Range Rover for a very long time now.
