Navi Mumbai, October 5, 2026: A 17-year-old boy lost control of his Honda City car while driving on Parsik Hill, causing the vehicle to plummet about 70 feet onto the Belapur-Uran railway tracks. The incident occurred on September 24 near the Vishwanath Maharaj Samadhi Memorial Temple, disrupting train services for nearly three hours.
Police invoked Section 154 of the Railways Act, 1989, which addresses reckless or negligent actions that could endanger railway users or those near the tracks. The minor was reportedly driving a 2010 Honda City when he took a turn on the hillock, losing control of the vehicle. He sustained injuries to his head and hand but was discharged the following day.
The car was removed after it was dragged for around 1.5 km along the tracks. The incident also led to the booking of an 18-year-old B.Tech student, believed to have used false documents to purchase the car for Rs 1.90 lakh. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the purchase and the minor's involvement.
