Mumbai, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : A significant traffic incident occurred late last night on Mumbai’s Coastal Road, involving six vehicles. Fortunately, there were no casualties or injuries reported, although the vehicles sustained considerable damage.
The crash took place on the northbound lane of the Coastal Road tunnel, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Marine Drive traffic department. According to reports, the collision happened around 2:33 AM on Friday. Officers from the Malabar Hill and Gawdevadi police stations were quick to respond to the scene, including Assistant Police Commissioner Suvarna Shinde.
During the incident, smoke began to billow from the hood of one vehicle, prompting concerns about a potential fire. The police acted swiftly, coordinating with the fire department to extinguish the smoke and prevent any flames from spreading.
All affected vehicles were subsequently removed from the tunnel with the assistance of towing services. As a precaution, traffic heading north on the Coastal Road was temporarily halted. Once the vehicles were cleared, normal traffic resumed, and the road is now operating smoothly.
In a related incident earlier this week, a fire at a firecracker shop in Malwani resulted in the tragic death of a teenager. Authorities reported that the shop’s ceiling collapsed after the fire broke out, leading to a devastating explosion involving the stored firecrackers.
The 16-year-old victim, identified as Shahnawaz Niyaz Khan, suffered severe burns and was rushed to BMC’s Shatabdi Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The Mumbai Fire Brigade confirmed that the fire was contained within the shop, which was filled with firecrackers and electrical installations.
