赛车冠军，开宝马车起火，妻子被烧死
CHENNAI: Former national car racing champion Ashwin Sundar, 31, and his doctor wife Nivedhitha, 26, were charred to death after their BMW rammed a tree and burst into flames on Santhome High Road in Chennai in the early hours of Saturday. The vehicle got trapped between the tree and a wall of a house. Onlookers, some of whom even live-streamed the event, were unable to help the couple because of intense flames.
Witnesses later told police that the luxury car hit a road bump at high speed, before spin ning out of control and slamming into the tree.The flames rose more than 10 feet and Ashwin and his wife were not able to prise open the doors of the twin-seater car. Ashwin may have been driving very fast and may not have noticed the speed breaker, police said. Sources said the low slung engine had been modified by Ashwin according to his requirement. Information about the accident showed that the air bags were not released, a BMW expert said.
"Air bags will release only if the occupants fasten seat belts. The modifications in the engine may also have led to the accident. We never advise customers to do modifications," he said.
A team from the Adyar traffic investigation wing rushed to the spot. Soon, fire and rescue services personnel from Mylapore arrived and doused the fire after a half-an-hour battle. The bodies were extricated and sent to the Government Royapettah Hospital for postmortem. A case was registered under IPC Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder). Ashwin, 31, married Nivedhitha, 26, on February 14, 2016 and were planning a honeymoon later this month, police said, after talking to the families.
The couple lived at Astalakshmi Nagar near Alapakkam in Valasaravakkam. Ashwin's father Sundar told police the two left home around 11.30pm on Friday to visit a friend at Leela Palace hotel in MRC Nagar. A senior police officer said, "We checked the hotel register, but there was no entry of the couple.CCTV footage at the entrance also showed Ashwin and his wife didn't visit the hotel."
目击者对警方说，宝马车高速撞上减速的路拱后失去控制，并撞上树。火焰燃起有10英尺高，Ashwin和妻子无法撬开这辆双座豪车的车门。
警方称，Ashwin可能开得很快，没有注意到路上的减速装置。

中新网3月19日电 据“中央社”报道，印度一名知名专业赛车手孙达(Ashwin Sundar)当地时间18日凌晨驾驶宝马车和他的妻子在泰米尔纳德邦金奈(chennai)撞上一棵树，结果车子起火燃烧，车辆卡在树与一道墙间，两人因无法逃出，而不幸被烧身亡。
报道援引印媒消息称，住金奈的孙达夫妇17日晚驾驶宝马车访友，并在用完晚餐驾车返家途中，于当地时间18日凌晨3时30分左右撞上路边的一棵树，结果车辆起火燃烧。
由于车卡在树与一道墙的中间，让坐在车内的孙达夫妇无法动弹逃生，因而在车内被活活烧死。
目击者随后向金奈警方报案，警方交通事故调查小组立刻赶往现场，消防人员也加入现场抢救行动，但花了近半个小时才把火扑灭。
交通事故调查小组在火被扑灭后打开车门，警方在车内发现两具烧焦遗体难以辨认，因而将其送往当地一家公营医院鉴识。最后，经由起火燃烧车辆的车牌，确认死者是孙达夫妇。
孙达是印度知名赛车手，曾在印度两轮车赛和多项全国赛事中赢得冠军，他的妻子妮薇迪萨(Niveditha)是金奈一家私人医院的医生。

Why did he leave at 11:30 in the night.This time is meant to have a good night sleep and not to roam around flaunting your wealth and driving skills.
I really don't have any mercy for such people who actually invite death by their irresponsible actions.
为什么晚上11点半出门
这个时间点，不是该好好睡觉的吗，不是到处兜风炫耀你的财富和车技的时候
对这种人，我是真的不怜悯的，他们的行为不负责任，是自己找死

BMW did not hit the tree ( on its own). It was being driven carelessly and driver lost control at high speed. Almost all expensive cars these days lock the doors automatically when in motion as a safety feature (without an option of mechanical override). This needs to be reviewed by the industry again as this is not a first time that a driver got trapped in a vehicle and people outside could not help.
宝马撞上了树
司机开车不注意，车辆高速状态失去控制
如今，作为一项安全性能，几乎昂贵的车在行驶中都会自动锁住车门
汽车行业得重新审视这点了
这不是司机第一次被困在车内，外面的人却帮不上忙

It doesnt matter where they went or stayed, it matters to address the problem of the car got fire and the door were locked or not unlocked in an emergency situation? Its technology issues which needs to be addressed.
要解决的关键问题是，车起火后车门锁住的问题？
这是需要解决的技术问题

Speed Thrills but Kills, despite having the necessary Skills.
速度的刺激
不过葬送了自己
尽管有着必要的开车技能

I would blame traffic department for not marking the speed breakers and placing a speed breaker signal atleast 15 meters before it. It is not just an issue in TN alone but entire India! On the other hand, speeding is dangerous and that too in Indian roads
要怪印度交通部门没有在至少15米开外标明前面有减速装置。
不仅在泰米尔纳德邦，其实印度全国都如此！
另一方面，开车太快是危险的，而且这可是在印度公路

Spot on. Speed breakers are really life takers in India.
说得对，减速装置在印度就是夺命杀手
