A part of Akshay Kumar's escort car was reportedly hit by an autorickshaw after the three-wheeler was struck by another vehicle near Mukteshwar Road in Juhu, HT reported earlier.

The autorickshaw driver was injured in the accident and was taken to the hospital for treatment, PTI reported.

Akshay Kumar, along with this wife Twinkle Khanna were on the way to their Juhu home from the airport after an overseas trip.

Residents witnessed Akshay Kumar stepping out of his SUV to assist an auto driver and a passenger who were briefly trapped under an entourage vehicle after a Mercedes rammed into them from behind.

Juhu police have reportedly registered a case of rash and negligent driving against the Mercedes driver, and further investigation is underway.

Brother of the auto-rickshaw driver who got injured in the accident, Mohammed Sameer, told ANI that the accident took place around 8 to 8.30 pm on Monday.
