On July 20, Vinod was hit by a speeding car on Abdul Gaffar Khan Road near Worli Sea Link. Bystanders had taken Lad to the hospital and notified the police.

This incident is part of a concerning series of high-speed collisions in Mumbai. On July 9, a speeding BMW collided with a two-wheeler on Annie Besant Road in Worli, killing Kaveri Nakhwa and seriously wounding her husband, Pradip. Mihir Shah, the accused, was arrested alongside his family driver and father for attempting to destroy evidence and mislead authorities.

On July 22, three individuals were injured in Mulund when a speeding Audi collided with two autorickshaws.

Another high-profile occurrence occurred on May 19, when a Porsche driven by a youngster under the influence of alcohol killed two IT professionals in Pune's Kalyani Nagar district. This case garnered national attention after the kid received liberal bail terms from the Juvenile Justice Board. A police probe found many attempts to destroy evidence, including the swapping of blood samples intended for alcohol tests.
