A terrible accident happened on the Pune-Bangalore Highway at 3:30 in the morning when a Mercedes car hit a motorcycle near Vishal Hotel. The car was driven by Shubham Rajendra Bhosale, a 26-year-old student who was drunk at the time. The crash killed the bike rider Kunal Manoj Hushar (23) and hurt his friend Prajyot Deepak Pujari (21) who was sitting behind him.
After hitting the bike, the Mercedes car broke through the side wall of Wadgaon Bridge and fell down onto the road below. The four people in the Mercedes got hurt, but they were saved from very bad injuries because the car’s safety bags opened up. When doctors checked the driver, they found out he was drunk. The group was coming back to Pimpri Chinchwad after going to a party in Khed Shivapur.
The police have started looking into what happened very carefully. They’re checking the car’s special black box and brake system to understand how fast the car was going and what exactly happened before the crash. The police have also written a case against the driver under Section 105 of BNS, which is used when someone’s actions cause death.
The family of Kunal, who died in the accident, was worried about when the police tested the driver for alcohol. But the police said they did all the proper tests at the right time. This sad accident shows how dangerous it’s when people drink and drive, especially on big highways at night.
Police records show that many accidents happen early in the morning, and many of them involve big, expensive cars driven by young people between 25 and 30 years old who’ve been drinking. This is becoming a big problem on Indian roads.
The police are now looking at videos from nearby cameras and talking to people who saw what happened. They’re also checking how fast the car was going and if all the safety rules were followed on that part of the highway. They hope this investigation will help them make better rules to stop people from driving after drinking alcohol. The Pune crime rate has seen a concerning increase in drunk driving incidents in recent months.
