A six-vehicle collision on Mumbai’s northbound Coastal Road between Marine Lines and Worli triggered a vehicle fire in the early hours of Friday, November 13, but no injuries were reported, officials said.
According to the Coastal Road Control Room, the accident was reported at around 2:39 am on the northbound stretch. A Mahindra XUV700 caught fire after the collision, prompting the Mumbai Fire Brigade to send personnel to the site.
The initial information indicated that two vehicles first collided with each other. The Mahindra XUV700 subsequently rammed into the vehicles involved in that crash and caught fire. The incident eventually involved six vehicles, officials said.
Mumbai Fire Brigade personnel brought the blaze under control and completely extinguished it at around 3:26 am. The response involved teams from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, Mumbai Fire Brigade, Mumbai Police, the 108 ambulance service and Coastal Road staff.
No injuries were reported in the collision or the fire, according to the information provided by officials. The available account did not state whether the crash caused a prolonged closure of the northbound road or provide details about the vehicles’ occupants.
The incident adds to the operational demands placed on Mumbai’s Coastal Road, where emergency agencies must coordinate across a controlled-access corridor with limited entry and exit points. In this case, fire services, police, ambulance personnel and road staff were mobilised together after the crash.
The Coastal Road Control Room’s account established the time, location and sequence of the reported collision, while the responding agencies handled the fire and emergency response. The source report did not provide information about the cause of the first collision, whether any traffic restrictions remained in place after the fire was extinguished, or whether an investigation had been announced.
The immediate response concluded after the blaze was completely extinguished at approximately 3:26 am. Further details about the circumstances of the crash and any traffic or enforcement action were not available in the supplied information.
