In one of the most shocking accidents, three students from Ahmedabad died in a BMW car accident on the Coastal road, Mumbai.
The car was being driven from Marine Lines to Haji Ali by Shanay Gajjar at around 5.30 am on 20 September 2026, when the accident took place.
The driver was driving the vehicle at a very high speed of more than 120 km, when he allegedly lost control of the car.
There are many flyovers in Mumbai, and after Shanay Gajjar lost control of the car, it hit the wall of the flyover, before falling more than 50 feet below, to a construction site.
