The marketing professional`s car tethered to a post outside Andheri subway on Saturday
Girish Suvarna, a marketing professional, experienced what he described as the most horrific ten minutes of his life on Saturday evening when he was trapped in his car, which was being filled with water, near the Andheri subway.
The Thane resident said the day would have ended in tragedy were it not for the quick intervention of a friend as well as the traffic police and Andheri residents.
Suvarna said he was on his way home around 5.30 pm after meeting a client at a mall in Versova. “I observed that the overcrowded subway was not flooded. To my utter surprise, the situation turned volatile in an instant once I got out of the subway when a woman riding a two-wheeler lost control of the vehicle owing to a sudden gush of water from Mogra nullah and crashed into my car, which was behind her. Soon two other vehicles that were ahead of me actually started floating towards my car and jammed both my exit doors,” he said.
