Authorities suspect that Patil may have suffered a heart attack while driving, which caused him to lose control and accelerate.
In a similar incident in 2024, also in Kolhapur, a driver and two others lost their lives, while six were injured. Officials at the time suspected that the driver had a medical emergency and lost control of the speeding vehicle.
The shocking post-crash visuals showed a man lifting a child from a bike, while the woman riding pillion required assistance to get up. At least three people were flung several feet, and one man was seen lying on the road.
