“They Are Big People…”: Mumbai BMW Crash Victim’s Husband Breaks Down, Says ‘Got 2 Kids, We Will Suffer’

The heart-wrenching aftermath of a tragic accident in Mumbai has left a family reeling in grief and uncertainty. A 39-year-old woman, identified as Dr. Heena Patel, lost her life after a speeding BMW crashed into her car on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway on the 20th of February.

Dr. Patel’s husband, Amit Patel, was visibly shaken as he spoke to the press, recounting the devastating loss and its impact on his family. “They are big people…,” he said, his voice cracking with emotion, “They have a big car, they have big money… what is the value of a human life? My wife is gone, I have two kids. We will suffer.”

The accident, which occurred at around 10:30 PM, involved a BMW car traveling at high speed, according to eyewitnesses. The driver of the BMW, identified as 29-year-old Gaurav Gupta, was reportedly driving under the influence of alcohol. The impact of the crash resulted in the death of Dr. Patel and left several others injured.

This tragic incident shines a harsh light on the growing problem of drunk driving in India. A 2021 report by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways states that over 1.5 lakh people lose their lives each year due to road accidents, with drunk driving being a major contributing factor.

Amit Patel’s heartfelt plea for justice and his poignant words highlighting the value of human life resonate with a nation grappling with the consequences of reckless driving. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of irresponsible behavior on the road.

As the investigation into the accident continues, the authorities must address the issue of drunk driving with stringent measures and public awareness campaigns to prevent such tragedies from happening again.

It’s time to prioritize safety on our roads and ensure that every life is valued.
