A person who witnessed the horrific May 19 accident in Pune involving a Porsche car, told India Today TV that the luxury vehicle was overspeeding and the teen driver was drunk at the time of the crash. As a result of the impact, one of the two victims, who died on the spot, was thrown 15 feet in the air, the witnesses recalled.
"The speed limit of the Porsche was so high that we did not actually see the crash, but only heard a very loud sound," the witness said.
"The car stopped a little ahead of the crash site because the airbags got deployed. After the minor driver got down from the car, I caught hold of him, took him to the accident site and showed him what he had done," he said.
The teen driver was drunk and was beaten by the crowd that gathered at the spot, he said, adding "But it had no effect on him."
The witness went on to say that the police arrived within minutes and took the teen driver to a station.
The 17-year-old boy involved in the Pune crash has been sent to the Children Observation Centre for 14 days.
The teenager had consumed alcohol at one bar, and then moved on to another on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday, before the deadly car crash.
Two IT professionals from Madhya Pradesh - Aneesh Awadhiya and his friend Ashwini Koshta - died after their motorbike was hit by the Porsche.
While Ashwini died on the spot, Aneesh was shifted to a city hospital, where he died soon after.
