Bhopal, Dec 11 || Nearly half a dozen police personnel had a narrow escape when a car driven at high speed hit their official vehicle during night patrolling in Bhopal.
The incident took place late on Wednesday. After hitting the police vehicle at a junction in the city, the car then collided with a road divider and overturned.
However, no one got injured except the car driver, who was allegedly heavily drunk, and was rescued by the same cops, who had a narrow escape at the spot.
The driver, who was not named, was rushed to a hospital for treatment.
A video after the incident surfaced on social media showing a black luxury car overturned after hitting a road divider, and it continued to honk. After rescuing the driver, a cop was seen somehow managing to turn the car's engine off.
"It (black SUV) first hit a police vehicle and then collided head-on with a road divider and overturned within a few seconds, leaving others in shock. When the driver was rescued, he was found under the influence of alcohol," a police official said on Thursday.
