India, Nov. 14 -- A routine ride home for a young couple and their child turned into a terrifying ordeal near MS Ramaiah Hospital in Bengaluru, after a speeding car allegedly slammed into their scooter and hurled them over a road divider.

The driver, who fled immediately after the crash, has now been arrested, NDTV reported.

According to police, the incident took place last month when the family was travelling on a two-wheeler along the busy stretch. Investigators said the car, reportedly driven by 23-year-old Sukruth, approached at high speed before crashing directly into the scooter, the report further added.

The impact sent the vehicle flying across the median, leaving all three passengers injured.
