MUMBAI: Two men — taxi and rickshaw drivers -- suffered minor injuries after a tempo (LMV) rammed into their vehicles reportedly after jumping signal at Godrej Junction in Vikhroli (East) on Wednesday. The incident occurred around 12 noon on the Eastern Express Highway (EEH) and the motorists that witnessed the incident caught tempo driver Sagar Harpude (21) before he could have managed to escape, said the Vikhroli police.
Minutes after the incident the traffic got blocked on the EEH which was restored in no time after the damaged vehicles was cleared from the spot. "The incident occurred after the tempo jumped signal and went on to ram into a moving auto rickshaw and it further hit a taxi which was moving in the front. The taxi further hit a moving Indica car. The vehicles were severely damaged but those in the vehicle had a narrow escape," said Vikhroli police senior inspector Mahapat Indalkar.
Those injured in the mishap were taxi driver Rajeram Gupta (63) and the rickshaw driver. The two are hospitalized at Godrej hospital. Police are collecting details of the rickshaw driver. "We got very little time to react when the tempo hit the rickshaw and it hit my taxi. I lost control and rammed into a Indica car. Luckily there were no passengers in my taxi neither in the rickshaw. Else the situation could have been different," taxi driver Gupta told the police.
Tempo driver Harpude was heading towards Thane when the incident occurred. "He claimed he lost control over his vehicle on reaching the signal. He has got a valid licence and was not drunk at the time of incident. Meanwhile the Indica car left the spot minutes after the incident no one was injured in the car," said the police.
Harpude is booked under IPC sections for endangering life, rash and negligent driving. He will be produced before the court on Thursday.
