In a fortunate turn of events, five individuals, including a woman, survived the accident with injuries. The injured, all hailing from Ernakulam, are Ashwin, Deepak, Sachin, Anagha, and Sajimon. While Ashwin sustained a leg injury, the others are receiving treatment at a Kochi-based private hospital.

Anagha lost control of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 S while driving on Willingdon Island, crashing into the railway track and then colliding with an oncoming Hyundai Ascent. The impact caused a chain reaction, with the Mercedes-Benz swerving and hitting the Mercedes-Benz AMG SL55 Roadster driven by Ashwin. Sajimon, from Ernakulam, was behind the wheel of the Hyundai Ascent.

The accident severely damaged the front of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 S. The locals helped get the injured to the hospital. The police are investigating the incident based on Sajimon's complaint. The Mercedes-Benz AMG SL55 Roadster, launched last June, is worth Rs  3.10 crore. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 S, launched in April, is worth Rs 4.19 crore.
