How it happened
"This was some time around 8 am, on Wednesday morning when I was on my way to work," says Sharad.
"There is a petrol pump on the highway, towards Andheri (East), where the accident happened. I was at the signal and my car was the first vehicle in line. As soon as it turned green, I started moving ahead. There was a BEST bus on my left, so I was making sure I drove straight.
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a taxi appeared in front, and I immediately applied the brakes. But by the time my car could halt, the taxi had already rammed into the front."
Sharad says he didn't want to get into an argument, as the taxi driver was old and the accident had stalled traffic at the junction. "The taxi also suffered some damage, but I didn't want to create a scene - I had already wasted 20 minutes, and was late for my shoot."
