Tragic! Mumbai youth crashes to death day after birthday

City youth crashes to death day after birthday

Two youths died when their car met with an accident on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway yesterday. Three other friends of the duo, who were trailing the car, crashed into the first car when the former suddenly pulled the brakes. The you­ngst­ers were returning from Lonavla after ce­l­ebrating the bir­t­h­day of one of the deceased.

The incident took place around 2.30 pm on the Mumbai lane, near the Khandala tunnel. The two deceased have been identified as Kevin Kapadiya, 22, and Pangati Parekh, 20 - both Tardeo residents. The three injured are Harshal Sheth, Dhairya Shah and Rajat Gami.

A Khandala police officer said, "The group had traveled to Kevin's farmhouse at Mount Palace Society in Lonavla to celebrate his birthday on Tuesday. Yesterday, Kevin and Pangati were ret­urning to Mumbai in one car and their friends were trailing them. It seems Kevin was driving fast and lost control of the vehicle. He and his friend were killed on the spot. The other three crashed into Kevin's car and injured. They were rushed to the hospital."
