Delhi/Mumbai4 hours ago

Former Tata Group chairman Cyrus Mistry’s car met with an accident due to a faulty design of the Surya river bridge on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway. The 7-member forensic team of IIT Kharagpur, who arrived to investigate the accident, has given this report after examining the details of the car.

The investigation team also found that all the safety functions of Cyrus Mistry’s Mercedes GLC 220 car were working properly. The airbags also opened at the time of the accident, but Cyrus suffered serious internal injuries in the collision due to not wearing a seat belt. This became the cause of his death.

Cyrus Mistry’s Mercedes car collided with a road divider (in the red circle) on the Surya river bridge on the Ahmedabad-Mumbai highway.

The seven-member forensic team of IIT Kharagpur includes two PhD scholars, mechanical and civil engineers, experienced crash investigation professionals and one member each with a specialization in simulation. Save Life Foundation has appointed this team to investigate the accident of Cyrus’s car.

Team claims – Cyrus’s head hit the roof of the car
According to the report of the forensic team, the condition of the car and the internal injuries at the time of postmortem of Mistry show that the car was traveling at a very high speed. Team members said that we have a solid report that both the people sitting in the back seat (Cyrus and Jehangir) were not wearing seat belts. This was the reason that when the car hit the divider, both of them jumped hard and their heads hit the roof of the car. This resulted in fatal injuries to his head and other parts of the body.

The investigation team said that if Cyrus and Jahangir had worn seat belts, they would have had scratch marks after such an accident. In Cyrus’s Mercedes, both the rear seat belts were found in their positions in perfect condition. This means that they were not being used at the time of the accident.

The front part of the car was destroyed after hitting the divider, yet the lives of both the occupants of the front seats were saved.

The front and curtain airbags of the car were also open on the collision.
Regarding the airbags, the team said that since the accident happened from the front side, the front airbags opened. Perhaps the curtain airbag on the right side was also opened due to the transfer of energy. The forensic team is also in touch with Mercedes India officials. The company is going to submit its report to the government soon. Apart from Save Life Foundation, a team of Forensic Science Laboratories from Kalina, Mumbai is also investigating the accident.
