**Mumbai: Two Separate Road Accidents in South Mumbai Over the Weekend**
South Mumbai witnessed two separate road accidents over the weekend—one on Saturday at Worli and another on Sunday evening within the Marine Drive police jurisdiction. Fortunately, no fatalities were reported in either incident, although several individuals sustained minor injuries.
### Sunday’s Marine Drive Accident
On Sunday around 6 p.m., Vinod Kumar Upadhyay (53), a driver residing in Kurla West, was driving a Kia car (MH 01 DX 0689) owned by Tajuddin. The vehicle was heading towards Bandra via the Coastal Road when a Swift car (OD 04 X 6400), driven by 20-year-old Vivek Rambab Sainik, attempted to overtake and collided with the Kia after it slowed down.
As a result of the collision, Upadhyay sustained minor injuries to his hand. Additionally, a passenger in the Swift, 19-year-old Alok Mishra, was also hurt. Both were rushed to GT Hospital for treatment. Police confirmed that their injuries were not serious.
### Saturday’s Bandra-Worli Sea Link Incident
A day earlier, chaos unfolded on the Bandra-Worli Sea Link when a speeding Hyundai car rammed into a taxi, injuring four people, including the driver.
According to Worli Police, taxi driver Amjad Khan had picked up three passengers from Mumbai Central and was en route to Bandra when the Hyundai hit the taxi from behind on the northbound lane of the sea link. The impact was so severe that the taxi overturned, leaving the driver and all three passengers injured.
The driver of the Hyundai fled the scene without stopping. The victims were immediately rushed to Bhabha Hospital in Bandra, where they are currently undergoing treatment.
An FIR has been registered against the unknown driver under Sections 281 (dangerous driving) and 324 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Worli Police Station. Police teams are scanning CCTV footage to trace the vehicle and apprehend the accused.
The mishap briefly disrupted traffic on the busy sea link stretch.
