As reported by the Times of India, the traffic unit in-charge, API Nandkumar Kadam said, "The impact of the crash was so severe that the SUV's engine got dislocated and landed 50 metres away on the Vashi carriageway near Sagar Darshan Society in Nerul. The damaged speedometer shows a reading of 120kmph. It is yet to be ascertained if the SUV veered off the road due to a tyre burst or uncontrollable speed."
