Rohit was driving back from Pune to Mumbai through the expressway. After crossing Lonavala, in the Ghats, the curves on the road become so sharp that sometimes you cannot see what’s around the corner.
Rohit saw the milestone. He was 70 kms away from his destination. Just then he happened to look at his speedometer, which was hovering at 70kmph. He could not help but smile at this sheer coincidence of numbers.
Rohit was crossing that part of the Ghats, which had a few consecutive turns. He crossed the first, the second as he turned into the third one he saw a huge trawler overturned, less than 100 meters away.
As a natural reaction, he pressed the brakes with all his strength, but it was too late. His car rammed straight into the trawler’s rear end and overturned.
The car’s engine was smashed, the wind shield was shattered and Rohit lay inside unconscious.
