Six others who were also injured in the accident are undergoing treatment.

The incident happened around 10:45pm on Thursday when an Innova sped up to the cars queued up at the toll plaza at the Bandra side of the sea link.

It caused a pile up involving at least six cars, severely injuring the people in the rear seats of the cars.

“Two of the three deceased are women. The six others who were injured are in hospitals. Two of them remain in critical condition,” said deputy commissioner of police for zone 9 Krishnakant Upadhyay.

He added that the driver of the errant vehicle has been identified and a case charging him with causing death by negligence among others has been initiated.

Dr Vidya Thakur, chief medical superintendent, said the four patients are stable and under observation in the surgical wards.

“We received nine patients out of which three were brought dead and two were shifted to Lilavati Hospital. The other four patients-two female and two male- have fractures and stable. They will be undergoing more diagnostic tests before we decide on further course of treatment,” she said.
