Mumbai: Out Of Control Mercedes Car Hits 5 People At Airport, 2 Foreigners Among Injured


(MENAFN- Live Mint) In a tragic incident, five persons, including two foreigners, were injured at Mumbai international airport on Sunday morning after a Mercedes car hit them.

The driver of the car has been arrested for rash driving and negligence. The vehicle has also been impounded.

According to the police, the driver of the luxury car lost control of the vehicle, resulting in the incident in the parking lot of Terminal 2.

The car was at the airport to drop off a passenger.

"The driver of the car, identified as Navi Mumbai resident Parshuram Chincholappa Dadanavre (34), has been arrested for rash driving and negligence. The five injured comprise two foreign nationals, who are admitted to Nanavati Hospital, and three airport crew members, who are undergoing treatment in Cooper Hospital," a Sahar police station official said.

"Prima facie, it seems Dadanavre pushed the accelerator instead of the brake, which led to the Mercedes car rushing ahead at a speed breaker at airport gate number one. The vehicle has been impounded as part of the probe," the official informed.
