Soon after the accident, other pedestrians on the road can be seen helping the injured. The injured have been shifted to hospital.

According to the HSR Layout traffic police, the driver was under the influence of alcohol when he lost control of the SUV he was driving. “The car rammed into people crowded on the pavement in front of a hotel on HSR Layout 7th Phase 14th Cross, some eating while others waiting for their food,” a traffic police officer told ndianexpress.com

Two people out of the seven are severely injured due to the impact of the collision while the other five sustained minor injuries. The police added that the driver, identified as Rajendra (30), was arrested and an FIR has been filed against him under sections 185 (Drunken driving) and 279 (Rash driving) under Motor Vehicles Act.

The driver of the Mahindra Xylo car, who was visibly drunk was first taken for a blood sample test in which he tested positive. “The accused’s blood samples indicated 0.412% of alcohol content which is way over the permissible 0.03% per 100 ml blood,” investigating officer Suresh told Indianexpress.com

The accused was produced before the Metropolitan magistrate traffic court VI in the city on Monday, the officer added.
