Juhu's Late-Night Horror: Speeding Mercedes Triggers Multi-Vehicle Pile-Up, Involves Auto and Akshay Kumar's Security Car

Imagine the eerie quiet of Juhu’s streets just after midnight, the kind of hour when most of us are fast asleep or perhaps just winding down a busy Saturday. Well, that calm was violently shattered in the early hours of Sunday morning by a chain-reaction collision that left one person seriously injured and brought a surprising connection to Bollywood royalty.

It all unfolded around 1:30 AM near Juhu Tara Road. According to initial reports and the police, a young man, 23-year-old Vismay N, was allegedly driving his Mercedes-Benz at a considerable speed. Suddenly, and seemingly without warning, he lost control. His powerful vehicle violently impacted a lone auto-rickshaw.

The force of that initial collision was immense. The auto, now a mangled mess, was propelled forward with alarming force, colliding almost immediately with a Toyota Innova that was parked nearby. Almost like a domino effect, but with far more severe consequences. What makes this particular incident stand out, beyond the sheer recklessness, is the identity of that Innova. It wasn't just any car; it was part of actor Akshay Kumar’s personal security escort.

Naturally, the immediate question that springs to mind is about the actor's safety. Thankfully, and crucially, Akshay Kumar was not in the Innova at the time of the crash. His team confirmed he was elsewhere, reportedly at a studio for filming, and no one from his immediate team suffered any injuries. A sigh of relief, for sure, but the incident remains a stark reminder of how quickly things can go wrong on our roads.

The human cost of this late-night drama falls heavily on the auto-rickshaw driver, who sustained serious injuries in the crash. He was rushed to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention. The driver of the Innova, while thankfully less severe, also suffered minor injuries. It's truly harrowing to think about the impact such an unexpected event has on innocent lives.

Following the chaos, Juhu police swiftly arrived at the scene to assess the situation and begin their investigation. A case has been registered against Vismay N, the Mercedes driver, under various sections of the Indian Penal Code – specifically 279 for rash driving, 338 for causing grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety, and 427 for mischief causing damage – along with relevant sections of the Motor Vehicles Act. He was later granted bail, a common legal procedure for such offenses, but the investigation is very much ongoing as authorities gather more statements and piece together exactly what transpired.

The scene itself was one of significant damage. The auto-rickshaw was almost unrecognisable, a crumpled testament to the force of the impact. The Mercedes also bore significant damage, and the Innova, too, showed clear signs of the collision. This unfortunate event serves as a potent, if unwanted, reminder about road safety, responsible driving, and the potentially devastating consequences of speeding, especially when the city sleeps.
