An accident involving a high speed BMW vehicle was reportedly an accident inside the newly completed Coastal Road tunnel in Mumbai towards the end of the night on Tuesday that created a major traffic jam in a short period. Officials claimed that the incident took place along the southbound end of the tunnel in Tardeo. Luckily there were no reported injuries.
Videos and eyewitnesses spread through social media showed a white BMW stuck in the tunnel with a noticeable front-end damage. A number of individuals could be identified standing around the car as the traffic crawled behind it. The collision had momentarily stopped the uninterrupted traffic in the tunnel, which is a project of the grandiose Coastal Road in Mumbai to reduce traffic jams between South Mumbai and the suburbs.
The car was allegedly going too fast when it lost control and struck the wall of the tunnel, but an official report of the cause is yet to be received. Mumbai Traffic Police could arrive within minutes and removed the vehicle that was hit and resumed traffic. Police made an update to confirm that the route had been cleared at 11:59 p.m.
One such project is the Coastal Road tunnel which has been in operation just a few months and has got some of the best surveillance and safety measures. To prevent these accidents, the authorities have been reminding motorists to observe the speed limits in the tunnels and on expressways. A thorough analysis of the accident is being conducted.
