The driver of a high-end car involved in a fatal accident on Mumbai’s Coastal Road was allegedly driving rashly and negligently, resulting in his death and the deaths of two other occupants, while a fourth person sustained grievous injuries and remains in critical condition, police said on Monday.
An FIR was registered at Tardeo Police Station in connection with the crash, which occurred between around 5 a.m. and 5.20 a.m. on Sunday.
According to the FIR, a black high-end car travelling northbound from Marine Drive towards Haji Ali allegedly lost control while being driven at high speed near Lotus Jetty. The vehicle crashed through a barrier and plunged from the flyover into an under-construction area below.
The impact caused extensive damage to the vehicle, which tore through a signboard hanging from the bridge. The roof was pushed inward, the windshield was shattered and the bonnet was completely destroyed.
The four occupants have been identified as Shanay Gujjar, 21, Dhairya Darshan Seth, 17, Aditya Jakasania, around 18-19, and Aditya Kalpeshwar Oswal, in his early 20s.
Police said Gujjar was found in the driver’s seat following the crash. The FIR alleges that he was driving the vehicle in a rash and negligent manner, resulting in the deaths of himself, Seth and Jakasania, who were seated in the rear.
Oswal sustained grievous injuries and was taken to Nair Hospital along with the other occupants. Gujjar, Seth and Jakasania were declared brought dead at the hospital, while Oswal continues to receive treatment.
During the investigation, police recovered four mobile phones from the accident site, including three iPhones and one OnePlus phone. A Coach New York wallet was also recovered, containing a Rs 100 currency note and Jakasania’s Aadhaar card.
