The police said the accused, Popat Nagargoje, was driving under the influence of alcohol and they will soon arrest him.

Nagargoje, a resident of Ghansoli, was rashly driving an Innova while going back home from Koparkhairane. “Around 10.30pm, the accused was on a road at Koparkhairne when he crashed into five cars while trying to overtake them, and also hit a woman who was standing at a corner with her son. Luckily, the two did not suffer major injuries,” a Koparkhairne police officer said.

The woman, identified as Nisha Gupta, 46, later filed a police complaint about the incident. “Nagarjore was in an inebriated state and was not able to answer anything on Saturday. His car has been seized,” the officer said.
