The young men were pitched under the wheels of a Honda CRV.
Two men, both in their twenties, died after their motorcycle lost control at a sharp turn on J J Flyover and crashed into a Honda CRV travelling in the opposite direction.
Nitin Subash Paatre, 25, and Siddesh Ashok Kadam, 23, were on their way to visit Babulnath temple in Walkeshwar on the eve of Mahashivratri on Wednesday when the accident happened. Paatre, a resident of Kalwa, had picked up Kadam from his home in Dadar.
At around 11 pm that day, the two men were speeding towards CST when Paatre, who was sitting in front riding the bike, lost control. The two-wheeler bumped into the road divider and the two men were pitched under the wheels of a Honda CRV which was coming down the other side of the road. The accident happened at a sharp turn at Mandvi Post Office.
The two were taken to J J Hospital but were declared dead on arrival. The driver of the CRV Vijay Shinde, 29, told cops that the victims were driving rashly on the flyover. Paatre, who was driving the two-wheeler, has been booked by the Pydhonie police for negligence.
Over just Wednesday and Thursday, the Pydhonie traffic division booked 154 and 171 motorcyclists, respectively, as two-wheelers are not allowed on the flyover.
"Bikers are not allowed on the flyover because of the sharp turns on the road. We keep a regular surveillance to keep them away from the bridge to prevent such incidents. The post mortem of the bodies was conducted at J J hospital after which they were handed over to their respective families," said a policeman.
Dr Nitin Bavrekar, Medical Supretendent of J J Hospital said: "The deceased were brought dead to the hospital with deep injuries in the head and other parts of their body."
