Overview
- In the early hours of Sunday, June 21, a BMW Z4 overturned after hitting a central divider on an under-construction expressway near Badlapur, killing two occupants and seriously injuring a third.
- Police identified the victims as Yogesh Kishan Negi and Rebecca Babu Jacob and the surviving, critically injured occupant as Angad Gill, who has been booked in connection with the crash.
- A social media video purporting to show the car’s speedometer near 250–251 km/h circulated after the crash but investigators have not yet verified its authenticity or the official vehicle speed.
- Authorities have seized the BMW, collected forensic evidence, sent blood and other samples for testing, and are examining CCTV, vehicle data and how the trio gained access to the unopened stretch.
- Local residents and officials say the largely completed expressway is frequently used for late-night high-speed runs and stunts, a pattern that could lead to tighter barricades, more patrols and stricter restrictions if the probe finds systematic access failures.
