A black SUV lost control in Varanasi's Aurangabad area, injuring three and damaging a shop.
Three people were injured after a speeding SUV lost control and caused a series of collisions in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi late Friday night. The vehicle first struck a motorcycle, then hit pedestrians walking along the roadside before crashing into a shop and overturning. The incident occurred in the Aurangabad area under the jurisdiction of the Sigra police station and triggered panic among local residents and bystanders.
According to police and eyewitnesses, the black SUV was being driven at a high speed when it collided with a motorcycle on the road.

The force of the collision caused significant damage to the shop and eventually led the vehicle to overturn.
Emergency responders and local residents rushed to the scene shortly after the accident. The injured individuals were provided medical assistance and transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Authorities said three people sustained injuries in the incident, though their exact medical condition was not immediately disclosed. Police also worked to clear the damaged vehicle and restore normal traffic movement in the area.
