MUMBAI: A Vashi resident and his friend were injured after he lost control of his car and rammed the vehicle into a safety railing on the Eastern Freeway in Wadala on Monday night. The police have ruled out the possibility of drunk driving.

The incident took place at 11.45pm when Jayesh Nair and his friend Nazneen Khan were returning from a hotel in south Mumbai. Nair, who works in Muscat, recently came to the city for his brother's engagement and was out with Khan to celebrate her birthday. They were about to get off the Freeway near Bhakti Park when the incident took place. "A vehicle flashed lights at Nair. He thought that it was seeking way and while trying to give side, he lost control of his car. His car turned upside down and passersby helped the duo out of the car. We took both to Sion hospital. While the girl has been discharged, Nair is undergoing treatment," said inspector Sunil Kadam. Wadala TT police have registered a case of rash driving and negligence against Nair.

In another mishap near Gandhi Market at King's Circle on Monday night, a motorist, identified as Abhinandan, lost control over his car and rammed it into a divider.
