According to the news report, the tragic incident occurred on August 6, 2025, in Mumbai's Aarey Colony. Ambubai Sonawane, a 53-year-old junior artiste with the film industry, was riding pillion on a motorcycle driven by Shubham Ghatwal, a 29-year-old acquaintance of Ambubai's family.
Ghatwal had borrowed a friend's bike and offered Ambubai a lift home from Malad, where she had been working. However, as they were riding towards the former Goregaon check-naka, Ghatwal attempted to overtake a BEST bus. In the process, he collided with another motorcycle coming from the opposite direction.
The impact of the collision caused Ambubai to fall off the bike, and she suffered serious injuries. Ghatwal first took her to a private hospital and then brought her to her residence, before eventually taking her to the civic-run Trauma Care Hospital in Jogeshwari, where she was pronounced dead the same day.
Ambubai's family has since lodged a complaint against Ghatwal with the Aarey Colony Police, who have registered an FIR for rash and negligent driving. The police are currently investigating the incident further.
