A Porsche car, reportedly engaged in a high-speed race with a BMW, lost control and crashed into a divider on the Western Express Highway (WEH) near Jogeshwari on the southbound side early on Thursday. Both the cars were carrying a group of friends, who were headed towards Bandra to meet another friend.

Neo Sonks, the Porsche's 22-year-old driver, sustained severe injuries to both legs and was rushed to a nearby hospital, while others sustained minor injuries. The accident occurred between 2.15am and 2.30am when Sonks reportedly lost control of the vehicle, while trying to dodge a pothole on the WEH. A case has been filed against him, said the Jogeshwari police, clarifying that no pedestrians were injured and no other vehicles were involved in the accident.
