Cab driver injures three in Pune

PUNE: A cab driver, possibly drunk, drove right into a no-entry zone in the Cantonment area here, ramming into four cars and a few two-wheelers, injuring three persons last night, the police said. The driver works for a car rental agency. The accident was faintly reminiscent of the recent murderous drive of a state transport driver on the city's streets.
The driver created panic when he drove his car from the wrong direction into the busy M G Road, hitting all vehicles that came his way. The police arrested 33-year-old driver Rishabh Talekar late last night. Talekar had come to the city on duty.
While on his killer drive, Talekar was overpowered by policemen and some youths as his car slowed down after hitting the vehicles that came his way. He is undergoing medical tests that would ascertain whether his alcohol consumption levels were beyond permissible limits when he was taking his reckless drive.
