A BMW convertible carrying three friends crashed on an under-construction stretch of the Mumbai-Vadodara Highway near Badlapur, killing two occupants and critically injuring a third.
The vehicle was allegedly travelling at speeds of up to 251 kmph before it hit a divider and overturned multiple times.
A chilling video, purportedly recorded inside the car moments before the crash, appears to show the speedometer touching 251 kmph.
Police suspect speed and poor visibility may have contributed to the driver losing control of the vehicle.
The open-top nature of the vehicle contributed significantly to the severity of the injuries, with the occupants being thrown out upon impact.
The family members of the deceased are yet to be questioned, and authorities are investigating the circumstances under which the vehicle gained access to the unopened section of the highway.
