According to the Dahisar Police, the victims, Karan Rajput (18) and his friend Aditya, were riding from Dahisar to Kandivali, while another friend, Piyush Shukla, accompanied them on a separate bike, India Today reported.

As they neared the Shailendra High School bridge, a speeding car collided with Karan's bike from behind, causing both Karan and Aditya to sustain severe injuries.

Aditya was critically injured and lost consciousness, while Karan also suffered serious injuries.

The car driver fled the scene immediately after the accident. Karan and Piyush managed to take an auto-rickshaw to Seven Star Hospital in Kandivali, but Aditya succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
