A BMW carrying four people crashed through the edge of Mumbai's Coastal Road and fell into a construction area early on Sunday, killing three occupants, including a 17-year-old. CCTV footage captured the car moments before the crash near Lotus Jetty at around 5.20 am. One occupant survived and remains critically injured at Nair Hospital, police said.

The black BMW was travelling north from Marine Drive towards Haji Ali when the crash occurred near Lotus Jetty, opposite Lala Lajpatrai College.

According to the Coastal Road Control Room, the driver allegedly lost control while the car was travelling at high speed. CCTV footage reported after the accident shows the BMW moving along the road before breaking through the edge of the bridge and falling into an under-construction area below.

The exact cause of the crash remains under investigation.

The impact left the car extensively damaged. Its roof was crushed inwards, the windscreen shattered and the bonnet was wrecked.

The vehicle also tore through a signboard hanging from the bridge before landing in the construction area.

Emergency teams took all four occupants to the civic-run Nair Hospital.
