A 32-year-old scooter rider, Harry Bastian, got tossed into the air and plummeted almost 25 feet from a flyover after a speeding BMW hit him from behind on August 29 on the Western Express Highway. Bastian died on the spot, but the driver of the high-end car is yet to be identified and arrested, as the CCTV cameras installed on the highway failed to capture a clear image of its number plate.

The deceased, a Ghodbundar Road resident, was returning home from work around 3.30 am when the accident took place, said his wife Jyoti. “Other bikers on the stretch saw Harry landing on the service road under the Sai Dham flyover. There were no external wounds on his body apart from a minor scratch on his head, but he bled through his nose when he was being rushed to a hospital in Borivli by tea sellers,” she said.
