10 May
Summary
- NCP(SP) leader Supriya Sule's car was hit by another vehicle.
- She was travelling from Pune to Mumbai on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
- Sule stated she was safe due to wearing her seatbelt.
Nationalist Congress Party (SP) leader Supriya Sule recently experienced a frightening near-miss while travelling on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. A car collided with her vehicle as she journeyed from Pune to Mumbai. Sule emphasized that she remained safe because she was wearing a seatbelt, highlighting the critical role of this safety measure.
The incident served as a stark reminder of the risks posed by other drivers' negligence and recklessness on the roads. Sule shared that the collision, though alarming, underscored her firm belief in road safety. She has been a vocal advocate for seatbelt use, particularly after the tragic car accident that claimed the life of her friend, industrialist Cyrus Mistry, in September 2022.
Reflecting on Mistry's accident, Sule had previously stated that he might have survived if he had been wearing a rear seatbelt, reinforcing her commitment to always wearing one, even in the back seat. The government had subsequently enhanced enforcement of rear seatbelt regulations in response to such accidents.
