The accident took place at the Famous Chowk in Sangvi at 1:15 PM on Monday. The CCTV footage shows that the speeding SUV hitting the restaurant’s wall and came to a stop inside the compound. The previous-generation Fortuner can be seen in the footage, from multiple CCTV cameras, speeding on the road. The SUV overtakes a scooter at a very high speed on the undivided city road and then steers towards its left to stay in the correct lane. It can then be seen speeding towards the restaurant and hitting it without any signs of applying the brakes.
It is not known how the driver lost control of the vehicle or if there was a mechanical failure in the car. However, several eye witnesses recount the incident by saying that the driver mistakenly pushed the accelerator instead of the brake. According to the reports, the driver is still unconscious and the police are waiting to record his statement.
The CCTV footage shows that the Fortuner did not even brake for the speed-breaker that is placed just before the Famous Chowk. The driver also did not make any attempts to slow down or steer away from the shop. The size of the shop was similar to the size of the SUV and there were people present inside the compound when the SUV rammed into it. The SUV stalled after the roof of the vehicle hit a beam inside the shop or the number of fatalities could have been much higher. The impact broke one beam and the shop owner, Omprakash Ambadas Pandilwar, who was sitting at the counter died on the spot. There are three more injured people but they are out of danger and are in a stable condition.
