The Gurugram Police has launched an investigation into the case.

Meanwhile, according to Aanchal Gupta, the collision took place after she came out of a nearby petrol pump, reported India Today.

“I left the petrol pump, and right after I took a turn, a white Honda Amaze hit my car from behind. I diverted to the left because otherwise, there would have been further damage. However, my car went up the electric pole. Later, locals helped me come down, and I jumped from above,” India Today quoted her as saying.

In another incident on Monday, a 17-year-old boy died after he lost control of the car he was driving and rammed a divider of the flyover at Atul Kataria Chowk in Gurugram. According to the police, the boy, a resident of Sector 14, was speeding and was on his way to attend coaching classes in Udyog Vihar at around 11 am when the incident took place.

“Prima facie, it appears that no other car was involved in the incident and that the boy lost control on his own. The crash affected traffic on the flyover for about half an hour until the car was towed away,” an official said.
