Mumbai Minor Drives Water Tanker Into Parked Vehicle and Wall; Police InvestigatePreviousNext

In Mumbai's Andheri East, a 14-year-old boy allegedly drove a water tanker into a parked SUV and a residential compound wall early Sunday, causing significant vehicle damage and minor injuries to the boy. Police are investigating how the minor accessed the tanker and have registered cases against him, his cousin who reportedly permitted him to drive, and the vehicle owner. CCTV footage of the crash circulated on social media. Separately, a woman died last month after a petrol tanker hit her scooter in Andheri.
