Woman killed by speeding luxury car
In another case of rash driving in Noida, a 24-year-old woman was killed on Sunday after a luxury car rammed her two-wheeler and flung her in the air for a few seconds before she landed on the road.
The woman, identified as Deepika Tripathi, worked as a receptionist and was the family’s sole breadwinner.
The speeding Jaguar XKR sports car worth over Rs 1 crore, with VIP number plate (0001), was driven by one Samuel Andrew Pyster, an American Express Bank employee.
Pyster, who hails from Faridabad, Haryana, was reportedly racing with another car when the accident happened. He had reportedly visited Noida with his friends to have breakfast at Starbucks. After the accident, he escaped the site leaving his car behind; however, he was arrested later.
