The Mumbai police have not yet investigated the matter
The newly inaugurated Mumbai Coastal Road saw its first-ever accident on Thursday afternoon when a speeding car hit the tunnel wall. The local police are yet to decide which officers will register the case and investigate, as the department has not yet demarcated the jurisdiction for the road, which passes through the boundaries of three police stations. The Mumbai police have not yet investigated the matter. The cops are also yet to identify the driver of the car and register an FIR in this matter.
According to sources in the traffic department, the incident occurred around 12.37 pm near the southbound tunnel near the Marine Drive exit. A car hit a wall, spun around, and then another car dashed into it. “Nobody was hurt; however, traffic was affected briefly,” said an officer. “The driver was fined Rs 1.500. The Marine Drive police registered a traffic accident diary,” said Dr Pravin Munde, DCP. Zone 1.
