Mumbai: Car Crashes Into Sea From Sea Link Approach Ramp at Worli Seaface, Drunk Driver Rescued by Maharashtra Security Force (Videos)

Mumbai, October 8: A dramatic late-night accident unfolded on Monday when a car driven by a drunk motorist plunged into the sea from the approach ramp to the Worli Sea Link. The 29-year-old driver, Frashogar Batiwalla from Tardeo, narrowly escaped with minor injuries, thanks to the swift action of two Maharashtra Security Force (MSF) jawans.

Batiwalla, who was on his way to Andheri, was reportedly speeding when his Maruti Ertiga crashed into a divider, broke the ramp’s railing, and fell into shallow waters near Bindumadhav Thackeray Chowk. Jawans Suhas Kadasare and Pandurang Kale rescued him by climbing onto the rocks and securing him with a rope. The car was later retrieved by the fire brigade on Tuesday night. Mumbai-Pune Expressway Accident: Major Pile-Up Near Bhor Ghat, Several Injured As 18–20 Vehicles Crash; Traffic Crawls for 5 km (Watch Videos).
