DAYS AFTER industrialist Cyrus Mistry and a family friend were killed in a car accident on NH-48 in Palghar district, National Highway Authority of India’s project director for the highway Suraj Singh on Sunday ruled out any design fault in the highway. He said the accident occurred because the car was speeding.
“According to police and our investigation, over-speeding was the main reason for this accident,” Singh told The Indian Express.
While some authorities have said that one of the reasons for the accident is the three-lane highway bifurcating into two bridges of two lanes each, he denied that the highway had a design fault.
