A car overturned inside the southbound tunnel of Mumbai's newly built Coastal Road due to heavy rainfall, causing significant traffic congestion during peak hours. The driver, Vikas Sonawane, a food inspector, escaped with minor injuries thanks to deployed airbags and wearing a seatbelt. A Mumbai Central RTO taxi assistance team promptly responded by alerting the control room and managing traffic, helping to tow the vehicle out and prevent further congestion. In a separate but related incident, a man tragically died at Ghatkopar railway station after being run over by a train amid overcrowded conditions, highlighting ongoing safety challenges in Mumbai's transit systems. Additionally, another car overturned on the Bhor-Mahad road at Varandha Ghat, causing minor injuries to passengers but no fatalities, with road construction contributing to hazardous conditions. These incidents collectively underscore transportation safety concerns in Mumbai amid heavy rains and infrastructure challenges.
