The civic officials on Tuesday said that three persons were seriously injured after a car rammed into their auto-rickshaw in Thane city of Maharashtra, reported news agency PTI.

As a result, the vehicle rammed into an autorickshaw from behind, the official said.
Three persons travelling in the auto-rickshaw, including the driver, suffered head and other injuries and were undergoing treatment at a private hospital, he said while sharing an update on the Thane accident, reported PTI.
Two children, aged 6 and 6, in the auto-rickshaw escaped unhurt, the official said.

Five injured at Mumbai airport as out of control Merc hits them
Five persons, including two foreigners, were injured at Mumbai international airport on Sunday morning after a Mercedes car hit them, a police official said, reported PTI.
The driver of the luxury car, which was at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to drop off a passenger, lost control of the vehicle, resulting in the incident in the parking lot of Terminal 2, the Sahar police station official said, reported PTI.
“The driver of the car, identified as Navi Mumbai resident Parshuram Chincholappa Dadanavre (34), was arrested for rash driving and negligence. The five injured comprise two foreign nationals, who are admitted to Nanavati Hospital, and three airport crew members, who are undergoing treatment in Cooper Hospital,” he said, reported PTI.
“Prima facie, it seems Dadanavre pushed the accelerator instead of the brake, which led to the Mercedes car rushing ahead at a speed breaker at airport gate number one. The vehicle has been impounded as part of the probe,” the official informed.
“This morning at CSMIA, a driver lost control of his car in T2`s departure lane, injuring five people. The airport medical team immediately rushed to the spot to provide first aid. The injured have been admitted to hospital for treatment. CSMIA is working with the police and other teams to ensure the safety of passengers and continuation of operations,” a CSMIA spokesperson said.
