The probe into the Mercedes SUV's traffic record has revealed a series of offences, including jumping the red light and over-speeding.
The Mercedes SUV that crashed in Maharashtra's Palghar Sunday, killing former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry, had a history of over-speeding and jumping signals, an investigation into the case has found.
The probe into the vehicle's traffic record has revealed multiple traffic offences, including cases of jumping the red light and over-speeding. It is, however, not known who was at the wheel at the time of these offences.
The accident took place when Mr Mistry was travelling with three others from Gujarat's Udwada to Mumbai. The car was being driven by Dr Anahita Pandole, a top gynaecologist from Mumbai. Her husband Darius Pandole was on the front passenger seat. Mr Mistry and Jehangir Pandole, the brother of Darius Pandole, were in the rear.
Eyewitnesses have said the car was trying to overtake another vehicle at high speed when it hit the road divider on a bridge across Surya river.
