Mumbai: Speeding BMW crashes into Coastal Road divider, plunges 75 feet; 3 students killed

Three students lost their lives and another remains critically injured after a BMW collided with a divider on Mumbai's Coastal Road early Sunday. The accident happened around 5 am as the four students, all BBA students, were en route from Marine Drive towards the north. The victims identified are Sanay Gujjar, 21, the driver, Aditya Jakasania, 19, Dhairya Sheth, 17, and Aditya Oswal, 23, who is battling critical injuries at Nair Hospital.

All four were from Vile Parle and Gujjar, a native of Ahmedabad, was a paying guest in Mumbai. According to police, the BMW, which belonged to Gujjar's family, was believed to be speeding when the driver lost control. The car first struck the outer wall of the Coastal Road before plummeting nearly 75 feet. Meena Jagtap, a senior inspector from Tardeo police station, stated that the high speed seems to be the cause of the driver's loss of control, leading to the fatal collision.

The police have notified the families of the deceased and are collecting statements from their friends and witnesses.
