A completely mangled BMW, debris on road and police personnel at the spot – this was the aftermath of the deadly crash on Mumbai’s Coastal Road that killed three people and left another critically injured early Sunday morning.
A video of the accident site now shows the car totally wrecked, with police personnel seen at the scene. The speeding car crashed through the bridge railing and fell off the elevated road. The BMW was travelling from Marine Drive towards Haji Ali when the driver allegedly lost control due to overspeeding and crashed near Lotus Jetty, opposite Lala Lajpatrai College, at around 5:20 am.
Police have launched an investigation into the crash. The deceased were 21-year-old Shanay Gajjal and a 17-year-old. 20-year-old Onmy Aditya Oswal, who was sitting beside the driver, survived the crash, but was critically injured.
All four occupants were taken to the Nair Hospital, where doctors declared three dead. The identity of the third person is yet to be ascertained. The BMW was being driven by Gajjal, while the other three were passengers. The four boys were students of NMIMS in Juhu and were staying in paying guest accommodation. Relatives of the victims from Mumbai reached the hospital, while their parents were on their way from Gujarat.
They were from Ahmedabad and had gone to Marine Drive before the accident occurred while they were returning.
