Mumbai:
Two speeding luxury cars – a Mercedes and a BMW – crashed into a cab while allegedly racing on the Bandra-Worli sea link in Mumbai. The accident early Sunday morning led to a traffic jam on the fifth longest bridge in the country.
The two cars lost control while speeding on the sea link around 10:20 am and hit the Wagon R, the app-based cab, from behind. The cab, which had a family of four inside, overturned with the impact.
The speed limit on the sea link is 80 kmph.
The drivers of both cars -Tariq Chaudhary and Sehbaz Khan – have been arrested. A case for attempted culpable homicide and rash driving has been filed against them.
Reports suggest the family riding in the cab included a 10-year-old child. No one suffered any serious injuries in the accident, the police said.
Visuals showed the Mercedes with a damaged bonnet while the BMW was damaged on its rear. The two luxury cars were registered with two different private firms.
Last November, three people died in an accident involving a speeding SUV on the sea link. A Toyota Innova had crashed into a Mercedes late night and rammed several other vehicles in an attempt to escape.
