One person died and one was injured in an accident on Sion-Panvel highway near Uran Phata on Thursday evening.

The accident occurred when four friends staying in Dadar were on their way back from Lonavala.

“Prima facie, it seems that the driver lost control of the car and climbed on the footpath just before the flyover near Uran Phata. The person seated beside the driver turned the steering towards road immediately and the car took a sharp 360 degree turn and one of them fell out and died,” police inspector Balasaheb Tupe from Belapur traffic unit said.

While the deceased has been identified as Satish Solanki (32), the injured has been identified as Nilesh Shinde (32).
