A routine engine trial turned tragic in Mumbai when a speedboat encountered a technical snag, leading to a fatal accident. The malfunction prevented the vessel from altering its course, resulting in a collision and raising questions about safety measures during testing.
Preliminary reports suggest the boat’s steering mechanism failed during the trial, leaving the crew unable to regain control. Eyewitness accounts and initial investigations indicate that the lack of a functional backup system exacerbated the situation.
Authorities are now probing the incident to determine if safety protocols were followed and whether negligence played a role. The accident has reignited concerns over the need for stricter regulations and better oversight during engine tests and trial runs in busy waterways.
