Reportedly, he was coming from Goregaon side when a cyclist suddenly came in front of his car. In a bid to save him, the actor took a sharp turn and consequently hit three cars parked by the road with his BMW X 5 SUV. Because of the car's speed being high, Sidharth lost his control over the wheels and rammed his car onto the divider.

The incident took place near Shreeji restaurant, which is just a few minutes away from Oshiwara police station.

Soon after the accident, Police arrived at the spot and after Siddharth was rescued from his wrecked car, he was taken into custody in sent for a medical examination. The police have registered a case of rash driving.

"I was in the building next to it, there was a loud blast..people inside the building thought it was a cylinder blast at shreeji restaurant, but then saw the accident on road..don't know who was at fault but the red car was on the wrong side of the road..."
