Overview

  • A blue Porsche hit a divider near Jogeshwari around 2–2:30 am, leaving driver Neo Sauns, 22, injured and hospitalised, with a nearby BMW also damaged, police said.
  • Eyewitnesses alleged the Porsche was racing a BMW at roughly 150 km/h before the collision, but Mumbai Police later said no racing activity had been confirmed.
  • Visuals from the scene show the sports car severely damaged with airbags deployed, and officials said no fatalities were reported as Jogeshwari Police opened a case.
  • In the earlier Worli incident, an Ertiga driven by Frashogar Darayush Battiwala broke through the Coastal Road railing and plunged into the sea, with MSF personnel and a police constable pulling him to safety.
  • Worli police registered an FIR under BNS provisions and the Motor Vehicles Act after a breathalyser indicated alcohol; blood samples were taken for testing and the submerged vehicle was recovered.
