A tragic accident occurred in Kandivali on Friday when a learner driver accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake. The car went out of control and struck a woman who was passing by, along with two other people, including a 16-year-old boy. In the chaos, the car ran over the woman`s head, leading to her immediate death. The other two sustained injuries and were discharged after receiving primary treatment at the hospital.
According to an eyewitness, Parwashkumar Baral (36), who is also a victim, the incident unfolded rapidly. Baral, a resident of Bihari Tekdri Poisar, was heading towards Kandivali to buy plumbing materials when he heard a noise. Before he could react, a white WagonR car struck him, causing him to fall. He then witnessed the same car hitting a boy around 16 years old before coming to a stop. Turning around, Baral saw an elderly woman lying on the road with blood coming from her head, realizing the car had run over her.
