According to police, the collision between his vehicle (Mini Cooper) and the motorcycle was so violent that it rendered Diksha Parwadkar critically wounded. She was transported to a hospital nearby where she was later pronounced dead on arrival. Yuvaan was seriously injured and is currently being treated.
