In my own small way, I internally conduct an interactive program called "VEHICLE BEHAVIORAL FEEL". Also remember that the stretch from the Pune end start of the expressway upto the toll booth is also rough, it is like the short wave pitching track in VRDE Ahmednagar (the Sanpada crossing bridge is still worse, it shakes up the whole suspension). |
Senior Bajaj Auto exec, wife die in e-way crash; kids injured PUNE: Amrut Kumar Rath, a top-level manager working with two-wheeler major Bajaj Auto, and his wife were killed while their two children suffered serious injuries after their car hit the median of the Pune-Mumbai expressway at Malavli, around 60km from Pune, on Sunday afternoon. The family was returning to Pune from Mumbai when the accident happened. The Highway Safety Patrol (HSP), Pune, and Lonavla police rushed the family to Lokmanya Hospital in Nigdi, where Rath (47) and his wife Padmaja (45) breathed their last under medical attention at 1PM. Their daughter Adisha (18) and son Alman (10) have been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the hospital. Police inspector Shankar Awatade of the Nigdi police station told TOI that Rath was the president (human resources) at Bajaj Auto Limited. The family resides at Wakad. Both Adisha and Alman are studying in the city. Awatade said the family had gone to Mumbai in their BMW car early in the morning to drop off Rath's sister. They were returning to Pune when Rath apparently lost control over the vehicle. The police said that while it had rained heavily in the area in the morning, there was only a slight drizzle at the time of the accident. Late in the evening, the Nigdi police sent the bodies for a post-mortem to Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital. Doctors at Lokmanya Hospital said Adisha and Alman sustained joint dislocation and fractures in the accident. "Adisha suffered a hip dislocation and pelvic injuries. The hip dislocation has been immediately taken care of. Though she is still in the ICU, her condition is stable. Alman has sustained abdominal trauma and has fractured his right femur (thigh) bone. His condition is critical but stable. Both children were conscious-oriented at the time of admission," the doctors said. Source |

If they actually weren't wearing the seatbelts then its sad. Not expected. Do be careful in your Yeti. I find the Yeti is prone to aquaplaning too, and another dangerous thing is the front wheels somehow manage to splash water right onto the windscreen which can be blinding. I have ZERO hopes of the authorities doing anything to make the expressway better. In fact you may have seem some of the lanes they are resurfacing, which is done horribly and is far rougher and worse than the 15 year old + concrete of the original road. |

The family had been to pick up the little one from school on her first day - turned into her last. When will drunken driving be made the single most, harshly punishable crime in India. How much more do we need to see...how many more kids should go to the grave when they should be playing, having fun at school and enjoying chocolates and ice-creams? RIP Little Angel. |

It is necessary to educate people on how to drive properly on the expressway in the simple way and in the language that they can understand, then it is very much possible to achieve the target of zero accidents on the expressway. Best regards, Behram Dhabhar |

Basically, people are not scared to violate traffic rules. As long as the punishment is not severe, nothing is going to change. Unfortunately, till then we will be losing innocent lives like this. :Frustrati |

It pains to see such a tragic loss of innocent young life to meaningless drunken driving. We need strict enforcement & punishments to keep such morons off the driving seat. |

A friend of mine here was mowed down by two guys on a bike. She was on her pedal cycle. They left her lying there with a broken leg and just drove off. |

Sorry to hear that. But why was she alone on her pedal cycle. Was her parents away from her or was she riding it in a place that is basically a normal road. |
And please do share the location where it happened. I have had ugly confrontation with many including lady riders in mylapore to slow down. While others didnt care, i had no second thoughts to confront. |
Increasing i am seeing speeding motorist in by lanes and small roads which we traditionally see safe and calm. And i am forcing myself every time i take the car to not speed, accelerate and tell myself that i dont want to ruin someone else life. |
