A speeding BMW crashes on Mumbai’s Coastal Road near Lotus Jetty and Lala College in the early hours of Sunday, killing three people and leaving one person critically injured, according to multiple reports. The crash occurs at around 5:20 a.m. as the car travels from Marine Drive toward Haji Ali, near the Lotus Jetty area.
Several outlets describe CCTV or video evidence showing the vehicle losing control, hitting a boundary barrier or wall, and falling off a bridge onto or into an area connected to ongoing construction. Police teams revisit and barricade the site as part of the investigation. One outlet notes the driver is detained and questioned, while others emphasize that circumstances are still under investigation.
The deceased are reported to include Shanay Gajjal (21) and Dhirya Seth (17), while a third victim’s identity is reported as not publicly confirmed in some accounts (described as an unidentified man, aged about 25). The injured person is taken to Nair Hospital, where they are treated in critical or serious condition, depending on the account. BJP president and MLA Amit Satam offers condolences to the families of the victims, calling the incident “very unfortunate.”
