Overview
- A speeding MG ZS EV struck parked two-wheelers outside Vile Parle railway station, killing 41-year-old Kinjal Hiren Shah and seriously injuring two others.
- Vile Parle police identified the driver as 44-year-old Vilas Shridhar Gavhankar and registered cases under Sections 106 and 281 for causing death by negligence and rash driving.
- Witnesses said the car was being driven recklessly and hit victims from behind while they stood by their motorcycles, and the driver later told investigators he panicked and may have pressed the accelerator by mistake.
- The injured, named in reports as Nirmala Dojiya and Premji Dojiya, were taken to hospital for treatment and at least one family reported difficulties arranging care and hospital transfers.
- Police note this crash follows a separate speeding death near Aarey Milk Colony earlier in the week and authorities say both cases reflect rising enforcement of negligent driving laws in Mumbai.
