A speeding car crashed into a Bund Garden Metro station pillar, killing two and critically injuring one. CCTV footage confirms the high speed.

Pune, Nov 2 (PTI) Two persons were killed and one was seriously injured after their speeding car rammed into the pillar of a Metro station in Maharashtra's Pune city early on Sunday, police said.

The incident took place at around 4.30 am in Bund Garden area, an official from Koregaon Park police station said.
