Another recent accident in Kolkata
Earlier on April 21, two children playing on the pavement in Kolkata were injured when a speeding car broke onto the footpath and ran into them, according to a report by Times of India.
The accident left one of the children, a seven-year-old boy, dead after he was trapped under another car that was upturned by the crash. Efforts to revive the child in a private hospital were futile.
