A viral video making the rounds on social media allegedly shows a concrete beam from an under-construction flyover in Mumbai falling and piercing the windshield of a moving car in Maharashtra. However, Mint has not independently verified the authenticity of this claim. The undated footage, shared on Reddit, shows several people, including a police officer, standing next to a car with a concrete beam protruding from its shattered windshield. The clip starts with the car’s driver shutting the door and walking to the front of the vehicle in apparent disbelief, while the officer is already present.
An elderly woman, seemingly a passenger, stands nearby, observing the damage. As the driver and officer take photos, the camera pans upward, revealing a section of the overhead flyover with a missing chunk of concrete. It’s unclear if this missing portion is the one that fell onto the car.
The incident occurred on Mira Road and involved a flyover that’s part of the ongoing Mumbai Metro project. According to the post, the beam fell just as the car was passing underneath, and the driver narrowly escaped injury. The video quickly went viral, with shocked viewers comparing the incident to a scene from a Final Destination movie due to its eerie resemblance to a freak accident. One user commented, "This is so scary. It looks like it’s right out of a Final Destination film." Another added, "In the US, the driver could sue and get millions in damages, but here, he’ll have to pay out of pocket to fix his car."
