A black Mahindra Thar SUV sparked panic in Kushinagar's Kasya town on Tuesday evening after the driver sped off to dodge police, with two policemen on a motorcycle chasing the Thar and trying to stop the vehicle by knocking on its window.
In the rush to get away, the SUV crashed into an auto-rickshaw—forcing a woman and her baby to jump out for safety—and then hit a parked car.
The whole scene was caught on CCTV.
