Investigators suspect reckless driving and possible stunt driving may have contributed to the crash.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/> <\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component iIpbx undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"-\" msid=\"131893324\" width=\"\" title=\"Image Credit: TNN\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"47529300\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/msid-131893324\/.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/>Image Credit: TNN<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>The driver, identified as Angad Gill, a resident of Badlapur, survived the accident and is undergoing treatment at Fortis Hospital in Kalyan.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The car is registered under Gill&#8217;s father&#8217;s company.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Gill has also suffered injuries on head and is in serious condition.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/> Police have not yet recorded his statement, and it remains unclear whether the vehicle&#8217;s airbags deployed or what factors helped him survive the devastating crash.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/> The deceased have been identified as Yogesh Negi (26), a resident of Badlapur whose birthday was being celebrated, and Rebecca Jacob (24), a resident of Bandra.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>According to police, the trio had attended Negi&#8217;s birthday party in Badlapur West before heading towards the expressway during the night.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/> Authorities said the force of the collision was extraordinary. One of the victims was found dismembered, while the woman was thrown nearly 30 metres away from the vehicle and succumbed to her injuries shortly afterwards. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Vehicle parts were scattered over a large stretch of the road, highlighting the intensity of the impact.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/> Eyewitnesses described horrifying scenes at the accident site. One witness said he was on a night walk on the highway between 2 am and 3 am when he noticed the BMW speeding on the stretch.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/> &#8220;The car passed us twice at an extremely high speed. During the third round, we heard a deafening crash. When we reached the spot, the vehicle was completely destroyed. <!-- -->A woman had been flung a considerable distance away and was struggling for life before she died,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/> Another eyewitness said he rushed to the scene after hearing the impact.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/> &#8220;We found an injured woman lying on the road and another injured man nearby. We immediately called an ambulance. Later, we noticed that one victim&#8217;s head was torn apart due to the force of the collision,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/> Police also recovered a bill worth around Rs 9,000 from the group&#8217;s belongings, believed to be linked to the birthday celebration held earlier in the evening.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"46\"\/> The accident has once again raised concerns over unauthorised entry onto the under-construction expressway. Although construction work on a substantial portion of the highway near Badlapur has been completed, the stretch has not yet been opened to the public because work remains pending on other sections of the corridor.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"48\"\/> Despite repeated warnings, locals and motorists frequently enter the restricted stretch for leisure drives and high-speed rides. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"51\"\/>The National Highways Authority has installed multiple warning boards along the route stating that the expressway is under construction, closed to public traffic, and that any unauthorised entry is at the individual&#8217;s own risk.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"53\"\/> To prevent access by vehicles, large cement barricades and concrete blocks have also been placed at several locations. Investigators suspect that while travelling at high speed, the BMW driver may have attempted to avoid one such concrete obstruction, lost control of the vehicle, and slammed into the central divider. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"56\"\/>The impact reportedly caused the car to vault and come to rest between two divider sections.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"58\"\/> Senior Police Inspector Kishor Shinde said the exact sequence of events remains unclear as the driver&#8217;s statement has not yet been recorded.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"60\"\/> &#8220;We have come across a social media post suggesting that the vehicle was being driven at speeds of up to 251 kmph before the accident. However, the authenticity of the video is still being verified. <!-- -->The driver&#8217;s statement will help establish the exact circumstances of the crash,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"64\"\/> Shinde added that the extensive damage to the BMW, the distance over which vehicle parts were scattered, and the condition in which the victims were found all indicate that the vehicle was travelling at an extremely high speed at the time of the accident.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"66\"\/> Police have registered a case of accidental death and launched a detailed investigation into the incident.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"68\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/mumbai\/social-media-post-shows-car-hitting-251-kmph-2-killed-in-high-speed-bmw-crash-on-delhi-mumbai-expressway\/articleshow\/131893099.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Birthday Celebration Turns Fatal: BMW Crashes on Under-Construction Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Two Killed MUMBAI: A birthday celebration ended in tragedy in the early hours of Sunday when a speeding BMW crashed&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":183624,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-183623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782059088_photo.jpg","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":177910,"url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/?p=177910","url_meta":{"origin":183623,"position":0},"title":"One dead, one sick at Mumbai concert &#8211; The Hindu","author":"Ajay Kumar Verma","date":"June 7, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"One dead, one sick at Mumbai concert\u00a0\u00a0The HinduLaw student dies, woman collapses at Mumbai concert; alcohol, drug angle under lens\u00a0\u00a0India Today28-year-old man dies, woman hospitalised after falling ill at Mumbai music concert\u00a0\u00a0Deccan HeraldMaharashtra: One dead, another hospitalised after health emergency at Worli concert in Mumbai\u00a0\u00a0ANI News Source link","rel":"","context":"In &quot;National News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"National News","link":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/?cat=7"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/J6_coFbogxhRI9iM864NL_liGXvsQp2AupsKei7z0cNNfDvGUmWUy20nuUhkREQyrpY4bEeIBucs0-w300-rw.webp?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":177609,"url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/?p=177609","url_meta":{"origin":183623,"position":1},"title":"Domestic LPG price hiked by Rs 29 per 14.2-kg cylinder &#8211; The Times of India","author":"Ajay Kumar Verma","date":"June 6, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Domestic LPG price hiked by Rs 29 per 14.2-kg cylinder\u00a0\u00a0The Times of IndiaLPG price hiked again: Cooking gas rates increased by \u20b929, now cost \u20b9942 in Delhi\u00a0\u00a0Hindustan TimesFrom full meals to just dosas and biryani: what's happening to Kerala's restaurants?\u00a0\u00a0CNBC TV18LPG, PNG prices June 6, 2026: Check domestic, commercial cylinder\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;National News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"National News","link":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/?cat=7"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newslink360.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/J6_coFbogxhRI9iM864NL_liGXvsQp2AupsKei7z0cNNfDvGUmWUy20nuUhkREQyrpY4bEeIBucs0-w300-rw.webp?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":177939,"url":"https:\/\/newslink360.space\/?p=177939","url_meta":{"origin":183623,"position":2},"title":"From wagering an egg sandwich to leading India: Deshpande hails \u2018leader\u2019 Shreyas Iyer","author":"Ajay Kumar Verma","date":"June 7, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"As teenagers spending endless hours at the nets of Shivaji Park Gymkhana in the early 2010s, Shreyas Iyer and Tushar Deshpande had a simple wager to make practice sessions more competitive.
