A 23-year-old office assistant, who was hit by a speeding car while crossing a road in Malad around 6.15 am on Wednesday, succumbed to his injuries the following day. According to the police, the accident happened near Seksaria Industrial Estate on Chincholi Bunder Road. The deceased, Deepak Safi, had been walking home after finishing his night shift.

According to the eyewitness, the collision was so powerful that Safi was flung about 15 to 20 feet in the air and landed outside the gate of the Business Classic building. After hitting Safi, the car—a grey Hyundai Alcazar—collided with five to six vehicles that were parked on the road before smashing into a power distribution box.
