The Lamborghini that crashed in Noida last evening and left two labourers injured is owned by YouTuber Mridul Tiwari. Deepak, a car dealer from Jaipur, was taking a test drive at the time of the accident – before buying the luxury sports car from Mr Tiwari. The driver has been arrested and the injured are now recovering at a hospital.
