A speeding car climbed on a divider at Jogeshwari flyover on the Western Express highway on Sunday night, leaving its occupants in a perilious situation. The driver, who was injured in the accident, had to jump his way down, after the car swooped up and positioned itself at a 60 degree slant. Two others, who were also sitting in the vehicle, were unhurt.
According to the police, the accident took place after the driver missed the lane and took a sudden turn towards the flyover before crashing into the left side of the divider. By the time he could apply the brakes, the speeding car had already jumped onto the concrete partition situated at the beginning of the bridge.
"The car was heading towards Borivli from Andheri. Primary investigations revealed that the accident took place due to poor judgement on the driver's part. The driver of the car sustained minor injuries. He was allowed to go home after minor treatment," said an official from Jogeshwari police station.
