In a tragic incident in Lucknow, a 12th-grade student drove his car into six pedestrians while returning from a farewell party, leading to one child's death and several injuries. The incident occurred in the Banshtra police station area when the student, accompanied by a girl, lost control of his vehicle. Reports indicate that the student, who fled the scene afterward, drove at high speed and first collided with an auto-rickshaw before running over the individuals on the roadside.
The impact of the accident was severe, resulting in five injuries where victims ranging from a six-year-old boy to a 60-year-old woman were seriously hurt. Among the injured, a six-year-old child succumbed to injuries during treatment. Local police responded quickly, and based on information from the student's girlfriend, they managed to locate the vehicle. Authorities are actively pursuing the student in connection with this incident, highlighting concerns about road safety and reckless driving among youth.

Such events not only affect victims but also instill fear and concern among the public regarding safety on the streets.
