The flyover has many twists and turns. It seems the victims were driving at a very high speed and might have lost control while taking a turn on the flyover. The survivor is unconscious and we are not clear about the exact sequence of events, said Rajesh Dhanawade,senior police inspector,JJ Marg police station.
