A fatal accident in Toronto took four young Indo-Canadian lives – Digvijay Patel, Jay Sisodia, and siblings Keta and Nil Gohil as residents of the community noted.
The accident happened around 12:30 am on Thursday close to the Lakeshore Boulevard. The alleged incident was reported, and Toronto Police said that their officers arrived at the scene shortly afterward. All the victims were in their 20s and early 30s, driving a Tesla electric vehicle which swerved off the road, hit the guardrail and crashed against a concrete Traffic Pillar before the car caught a flame.
Unfortunately, the furious fire was fatal, and all four people in the automobile perished. Another woman of young age, whose identity remains undisclosed, was pulled out of the vehicle by bystanders. She sustained moderate injuries that did not endanger her life, and she was hospitalized. Toronto Police said that four passengers were hiked dead in the incident. They are appealing to anyone who has footage from their dashcam or any knowledge about the accident to report to the detectives as they try to determine the cause of the accident.
Among them were the scenes of Rick Harper, a Canada Post employee who was in transit from York and heading to Mississauga. Harper, referring to what happened, said he saw flame gushing five to six feet above the front hood of the car. Thus, like everyone else around, he pelted the Tesla’s windows in an attempt to get the passengers trapped inside out. He was able to break one of the windows using a bar he had in his truck by joining forces with another person’s help. Between them, they managed to get the young woman out of the car and into a safer area.
After the incident, Harper spoke to CTV News Toronto and said that they were glad they were able to rescue the surviving passenger. It has become a sad time for the residents of Toronto, particularly the Indo-Canadian group of people, as they mourn the loss of young lives in the accident.
