A collision at a busy Mumbai intersection saw a car hit a motorcycle and several auto‑rickshaws, resulting in the death of a woman.
A video taken at a busy signal in Mumbai captured a sudden crash in which a private car barreled into a motorbike and a line of autorickshaws. The impact occurred during the green-light phase, causing the vehicles to pile up at the intersection.
Emergency services arrived within minutes and confirmed that a woman riding one of the autorickshaws suffered fatal injuries. Several other passengers were taken to nearby hospitals with non‑life‑threatening wounds.
Mumbai police have opened an investigation to determine the cause of the collision, including whether the driver breached traffic rules or was under the influence. The department urged commuters to adhere strictly to signals and to avoid reckless overtaking.
The incident has reignited calls for stricter enforcement of traffic regulations in the city, where congestion and high‑speed driving often lead to similar accidents.
