Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar was involved in a road accident in the Juhu area of Mumbai on Monday evening when one of the vehicles in his security convoy collided with an auto-rickshaw following a chain collision. Authorities confirmed that no serious injuries have been reported to the actor himself.
According to police and eyewitness accounts, a car struck an auto-rickshaw from behind, causing it to crash into a vehicle escorting Kumar’s SUV. The impact resulted in a multi-vehicle collision near the Silver Beach café area, where the auto-rickshaw was badly damaged and its driver and at least one passenger were injured.
Authorities and first-responders reached the scene quickly. The injured auto-rickshaw occupants were taken for medical treatment, and the situation was brought under control. Local officials later registered a case against the speeding driver whose vehicle triggered the crash, with an FIR filed by Juhu police.
Video clips from the site circulated online, showing emergency services working to clear the wreckage and onlookers gathering as the incident unfolded.
Kumar and his wife Twinkle Khanna were reportedly returning from an overseas trip when the accident occurred. Neither the actor nor his wife has publicly commented on the incident so far.
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the accident, including the role of the speeding vehicle that initiated the collision.
