The moments of the accident that was caught on CCTV camera

Cops said they partied till 3 am after which Ardhvyu Vijay Bandekar, 27, decided to drop his friends at their hotel in his mother’s BMW (Pic/Sameer Markande)

Drunk and speeding, Bandekar, a merchant navy professional, lost control over the speed breaker, which was not visible in the dark, and rammed into a parked garbage van, said cops (Pic/Sameer Markande)

The accident was captured in a CCTV camera of the petrol pump. The speed breaker ended right before the petrol pump. Sources in the police said the four friends—Bandekar, Pallavi Pal Bhattacharya, 29, Bharti Dilprasad Rai, 24, and Ankit Narendra Khare, 38—had gone to a bar and restaurant in Saki Naka to party (Pic/Sameer Markande)

They left the Saki Naka bar around 3 am, and Bandekar decided to drop his friends off at their hotel. However, in Juhu, Bandekar, who was drunk, could not see the speed breaker because it was not painted for visual warning, and lost control over his vehicle, said cops (File Photo)

Bandekar then crashed into a parked BMC garbage truck and the impact was so strong that his car was lifted in the air for about 30 metres, cops said. An auto rickshaw parked nearby was also damaged in the accident (Pic/iStock)
