A tragic accident occurred in Kandivli recently, when a learner driver accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake of the car he was learning on. The car went out of control and struck a woman who was passing by, along with two other people, including a 16-year-old boy. Chaos ensued, the car ran over the woman’s head, causing instantaneous death. The other two sustained injuries and were discharged after receiving primary treatment at the hospital.

According to an eyewitness in the report, who incidentally was also a victim, was heading towards Kandivli to buy plumbing materials when he heard some kind of noise. Before he could react, a white WagonR car struck him, and he fell. He then witnessed the same car hitting a boy and saw an elderly woman lying on the road bleeding from her head.
