On Monday evening in Mumbai’s upscale Juhu neighbourhood, what began as a routine drive home turned into unexpected chaos when an escort vehicle from Bollywood star Akshay Kumar’s security convoy was involved in a road accident that left at least two people injured. The actor himself was not present in the escort car at the time of the incident.
The accident occurred on a busy road during peak traffic hours. According to initial information, a speeding car rammed into an auto-rickshaw from behind, forcing it to lose balance and collide with the escort vehicle. The impact was so severe that the security car overturned, while the auto-rickshaw was left badly damaged.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as terrifying. Within seconds, traffic came to a halt as people rushed toward the crashed vehicles. Videos circulating online showed the escort car lying on its side with shattered windows and bent doors. Several bystanders immediately stepped in, helping rescue a man trapped inside the vehicle before emergency teams arrived.
Police and ambulance services reached the spot quickly and cordoned off the area to prevent further mishaps. The injured, including the auto-rickshaw driver and at least one passenger, were shifted to nearby hospitals. Doctors confirmed that while the injuries were serious, no deaths were reported.
The accident caused heavy traffic congestion in the area for nearly an hour as authorities worked to remove the damaged vehicles. Officials stated that an investigation has been initiated to determine whether speeding or negligence was responsible for the collision. The incident shocked local residents, especially because the area is generally known for calm evenings and smooth traffic movement. The sudden crash served as a reminder of how unpredictable city roads can be, even in well-regulated neighbourhoods.Police continue to examine CCTV footage and witness statements as further details emerge.
