In a dramatic turn of events on Mumbai’s bustling Western Express Highway, a street race between a Porsche and a BMW took a dangerous turn late Wednesday night. The alleged high-speed pursuit concluded with the Porsche colliding into a divider, resulting in extensive damage to the high-end vehicle.
The driver of the Porsche sustained serious injuries and is currently receiving medical attention in the hospital. Fortunately, there have been no reported fatalities from the incident.
A video shared by news agency ANI vividly captured the aftermath of the collision. The footage revealed the blue Porsche in a severely damaged state, with one headlight functional while the other was shattered. The vehicle’s tires appeared crushed, and deployed airbags indicated the immense force of the impact.
Eyewitnesses reported that the two luxury cars were engaged in a race when the Porsche driver reportedly lost control, leading to the crash.
This incident brings to mind a similar, tragic event in Pune in May 2024, where a speeding Porsche, allegedly driven by a minor under the influence of alcohol, claimed the lives of two IT professionals. That incident sparked public outrage, especially after the minor was granted bail with seemingly lenient conditions, including writing an essay on road safety.
