My father survived only because he was wearing a helmet. A helmet not only saves lives in road accidents, but can also protect you in unexpected situations — like when a tree fell on my father. Miraculously, the helmet saved him. People should always wear a helmet,” Shivaji Khadke told mid-day. Roasaheb Narsoppa Khadke, 69, was seriously injured after a tree from the site of an under-construction society on 18th Road in Khar West collapsed on him while he was riding his motorcycle.

Roasaheb sustained multiple injuries to his chest, head, and arms due to the incident. The construction contractor, a resident of Kannamwar Nagar in Vikhroli East, is currently admitted to Bhabha Hospital, where he is undergoing treatment.
