According to a report by Hindustan Times, the SUV had been taken out for a test drive from Heritage Motors, a Tata Motors showroom located nearby. During the drive, the vehicle allegedly went out of control while being driven at speed.
The driver was identified as Priya Kumari (36), a resident of Adharwadi in Kalyan. She was accompanied by two employees from the showroom, Mithilesh Paswan (48) and Chetan Deshmukh (30), who were present in the vehicle during the test drive.
The vehicle first rammed into three stationary vehicles parked along the roadside, including an auto rickshaw and two two-wheelers, before crashing through the barricade around a construction site. The SUV then plunged into the deep excavation pit, which had been dug for the construction of a residential building.
All three occupants of the car sustained injuries in the accident. They were rescued with the help of local residents and personnel from the Thane Municipal Corporation’s (TMC) Disaster Management Cell, who rushed to the spot after receiving information about the crash.
Yasin Tadvi, head of the disaster management cell, said that the airbags deployed during the crash helped prevent more serious injuries.
