While Chandrakala Mhetre, 45, died on the spot, Bhanu Poojari, 40, succumbed to her injuries at Bhabha Hospital.

The driver, Ranjeet Wai, Ajay Mhaitre, 10, and Dilip Mhetre, 11, who too have been admitted to Bhabha Hospital in Bandra, are critical.

Wai, who is employed as a driver at a Worli showroom, came home for lunch with the car and took nine neighbours for a ride on the sea link. But he lost control of the car and hit a divider.
