Timely Reminder: How a Seatbelt Saved Lives

A couple narrowly escaped severe injury in a car accident thanks to a Mumbai traffic policeman, Pravin Kshirsagar, who advised them to wear seatbelts. Their gratitude was reflected in a social media post by Gautam Rohra and recognition from Mumbai's police commissioner. The incident highlights the critical importance of seatbelt safety.

A couple's lives were likely saved during a serious traffic accident in Mumbai, thanks to the quick-thinking of Constable Pravin Kshirsagar. Merely fifteen minutes before the crash, Kshirsagar advised them to wear seatbelts, a move that proved life-saving when their car overturned in heavy rain.

The incident occurred on Saturday as Gautam Rohra and his wife traveled through the Bandra Kurla Complex. Upon noticing Mrs. Rohra wasn't belted in, Kshirsagar stopped them, prompting her to fasten her seatbelt. Shortly after, their vehicle lost control and flipped twice, but the couple escaped with only minor injuries.

Praising the vigilance of Kshirsagar, both Rohra and the Mumbai Police Commissioner, Deven Bharti, highlighted this event on social media. Bharti emphasized the life-saving importance of wearing seatbelts, reinforcing public safety messages by the Mumbai Traffic Police.
