“Just as an aircraft has a BlackBox, these Mercedes cars have a chip that can give details of the speed and can provide vital information on the accident”.

A team of Mercedes officials on Monday visited the spot in Maharashtra’s Palghar district where former Tata group chairman Cyrus Mistry and his friend Jahangir were killed in an accident and inspected the car they were traveling in.

“Just as an aircraft has a BlackBox, these Mercedes cars have a chip that can give details of the speed and can provide vital information on the accident. The Mercedes team that inspected the car also told us they will give us a report on the response of the vehicle,” district superintendent of police Balasaheb Patil stated.

Two teams of forensic experts — one from Thane and the other from Kalina — also inspected the spot and the vehicle, he added.

Members of the Save Life Foundation, which works to save lives on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, also visited the place to see if it was a black spot.

The Pune-based JP Research Institute Pvt Ltd, which investigates car crashes, wrote to Maharashtra police asking to investigate the incident.

“We have given them permission. We will also await the report of the state highway police, which investigate major accidents. So we will get reports on various aspects that will help us get a clearer picture,” a senior police officer stated.

Suraj Singh, project director of the National Highway Authority of India, said that Palghar MP Rajendra Gavit had called for a meeting to discuss putting up more signboards on NH 48, where the accident took place on September 4.

He further said, “We will install more signage on the highway, but the spot where the accident happened was not a black spot.’”

According to the Superintendent of police, Palghar, Balasaheb Patil, the accident happened due to the driver’s loss of control due to overspeeding.

“Primarily it seems that the accident happened due to the driver’s loss of control. More details will be revealed only after the investigation, but prima facie it seems that the accident happened due to overspeeding and the driver not getting the right judgement. There were 4 people in the car, one of whom was a woman and the woman was driving the car. At present, the woman is injured and is undergoing treatment,” the police official said.

The official noted the presence of “blind spots” at various places on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway and stated that the subject has been placed before the Blind Spot Eradication Committee.
“Efforts are also being made by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to eliminate these blind spots,” the SP said.

The official said that there is a necessity to conduct a detailed investigation in the incident.
“A detailed investigation is necessary in the context of the incident that happened today. DCM has also ordered a detailed inquiry, and an investigation is also being done as per his instructions,” Patil said.
