A semi-covered gap at the site of an under-construction bridge in Govandi has left a motorist with massive injuries to his head and legs. Amol Chavan, 39, was trying to cover a slippery patch of road with sand, when he fell through the gap.

Chavan, a Dadar West resident, owns a share broking firm and was travelling with his brother-in-law Rajendra Kalbhor when the incident took place. Kalbhor, a Bandra traffic police inspector, had a narrow escape on Saturday.
