A 70-year-old Delhi woman was killed on Saturday morning after she was trapped between vehicles following a head-on crash between a Mercedes and a WagonR in Narela. The victim, Urmila Bhardwaj, was feeding birds and insects by the roadside near Mamurpur village when the accident occurred. Police have arrested the Mercedes driver, 27-year-old Subham Sharma, son of a Haryana Police sub-inspector. The family alleges that Sharma was speeding and driving drunk. Times of India reports that police found an empty liquor bottle and a beer bottle in his car. His blood has been sent for examination. A case has been registered under sections for rash driving, causing death by negligence, and public danger. Locals also raised concerns about a nearby liquor vend that they say leads to drunk driving on the narrow road.
