The crash occurred Monday evening in the Dhanas area of Chandigarh. A female driver operating a Mahindra Thar struck a motorcycle ridden by two men, leaving both with leg injuries. The riders were transported to a nearby hospital.
After the collision, the driver attempted to flee but lost control, sending the vehicle into an electric pole. Witnesses said the woman, who police say may be a student, seemed confused before the second impact.
Police recovered blood samples from the driver to test for drug or alcohol influence. SHO Ashok Kumar said the investigation is ongoing pending results.
No formal complaint has been filed, but a crowd gathered and a video of the incident went viral on social media. Authorities are monitoring online reactions.
The incident raises concerns about road safety during rush hour. Law enforcement officials said they would review traffic enforcement in the area. The driver remains in custody awaiting a preliminary hearing.
