Mumbai, October 26, 2026: A water tanker driven by a 14-year-old boy crashed into a parked SUV and then rammed into a residential complex's compound wall in Andheri East early Sunday, according to the MIDC police. The incident occurred around 4.30am near Malvani Dhaba. The minor allegedly took control of the tanker after his 20-year-old cousin, Durgesh Pathak, stopped to get tea.
The tanker collided with a golden Volkswagen Taigun belonging to 45-year-old hotelier Chandrakesh alias Nattu Harishankar Gupta before hitting the building's wall. CCTV footage of the accident has been released, which is expected to clarify the sequence of events. Police booked the minor, Pathak, and the vehicle owner under provisions for rash and negligent driving under the Motor Vehicles Act.
Notices have been issued to the teenager and his cousin, and the police have seized the tanker. Authorities suspect Pathak knew the minor was driving. The tanker was carrying fuel when it was involved in a separate incident on September 26, when it allegedly hit a 35-year-old woman, Gayatridevi Vinod Gaud, who died after being struck by the tanker on Andheri-Kurla Road.
