Man leaves PIO woman to die in blazing car in US
HARLEEN GREWAL was burned to death after Saeed Ahmad slammed his luxury car into a concrete barrier. AHMAD reportedly left Grewal to die, hailed a cab and went to hospital.
New York, Oct. 15: A 25year-old Indian-origin woman was left to die in a blazing car by her driver following a fiery crash in the US, police said.
Harleen Grewal was burned to death on Friday after Saeed Ahmad, 23, slammed his luxury Infiniti 35G into a concrete barrier on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, the
New York Daily reported. The driver left the woman passenger to die in the fireball after hailing a cab to take himself to a hospital, it said. When firefighters put out the flames, they found a badly burned woman in the passenger seat. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
While the car was still in flames, Ahmad took himself to Maimonides Medical Center, police said. He was being treated there for burns to his arms and legs, the report said.
Cops caught up with him at the hospital and charged him with manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, leaving the scene of an accident, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and speeding.
Ahmad had been allegedly driving in and out of the traffic on the expressway before his car hit the barrier, it said.
Ahmad admitted to having a few drinks before the crash but was not legally drunk when his blood was tested at the hospital.
Ahmad’s brother Waheed, however, claimed his sibling had tried to rescue the passenger. “He said the girl was stuck in there and he tried to get her out, that’s why his arms were burned.”
