Mumbai: A Powai-based family of three, including a 4-year-old boy, was involved in a serious accident while riding a two-wheeler on Saki Vihar Road on Tuesday afternoon. The family was en route to pick up their 7-year-old son from Shivam Vidyamandir, located in Tunga Village near Saki Naka, when a Chhota Hathi tempo struck their vehicle, causing it to crash into the road divider.
The tempo driver fled the scene, leaving the father with multiple fractures, while the 4-year-old suffered severe injuries to his knee and calf.
