NOIDA: A 32-year-old man suffered several fractures in a hit-and-run accident at Ek Murti Chowk in Greater Noida earlier this month.

He told the cops, “It was my birthday, so after work my wife and I had gone out.”He collected a pre-ordered cake from a bakery and was crossing the road at the chowk when a white SUV, driven at high speed, rammed him.“The car hit me at what appeared to be a speed of over 100 km per hour and drove away. The way the car was being driven, it seemed that the driver might have been under the influence of alcohol,” he said.People in the vicinity rushed to his aid and took him to a hospital for treatment.The man sustained fractures to his legs, hand and knees, besides suffering a fracture to his spine. He is currently undergoing treatment at the hospital.Police subsequently traced the vehicle and initiated action against the driver, Priyanshu.
