The traffic police's turnaround on its decision to close the dangerous U-turn at the Godrej signal on the Eastern Express Highway (EEH) in Vikhroli led to an accident on the notoriously fatal stretch on Sunday morning. While neither of the two drivers suffered major injuries, their vehicles were battered.

This incident comes just a few weeks after the traffic department blocked the signal, following mid-day's report on the stretch in its 'Killer Roads' series. In, 'Cops to shut Godrej signal at Vikhroli,' on September 8, mid-day had reported on the police's decision to shut the intersection and re-route traffic. But that move seems to have held up only for a few days, as the traffic police reopened the U-turn, once again posing a serious threat to the life of motorists.
