When the unidentified vehicle hit Koyyadi's car, he lost control of it and dashed into the divider. Thereafter, the car landed in the bushes next to the road."

Recalling the incident, Koyyadi said, "We were returning to Mumbai from our hometown Hyderabad after our Diwali vacation. It's a miracle that all of us are alive, but we have received grievous injuries in the incident." He further said, "When the car landed in the bushes, I started screaming for help, but no one came to our rescue. Even our phones were not working. Later, I broke one of the windows and managed to get out, after which I pulled the others out. The cops took us to MGM Hospital, where we received primary treatment. Both my legs have been fractured. My wife will have to undergo a surgery today."
