Former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry and a co-passenger died in a car crash while en route from Ahmedabad to Mumbai. Mistry’s car hit a divider in Maharashtra’s Palghar district, 135 km from Mumbai, on Sunday. A preliminary probe has revealed that none of the passengers were wearing seat belts. Over-speeding and the error of judgment by the driver have also been highlighted as the cause of the accident by police. Now, industrialist Anand Mahindra, in a tweet, has highlighted the importance of wearing seat belts.
Quote-tweeting a post shared by News18, Anand Mahindra stated spoken about the importance of seat belts. The business tycoon has urged everyone to take the pledge, as they owe it to their families. “I resolve to always wear my seat belt even when in the rear seat of the car. And I urge all of you to take that pledge too. We all owe it to our families,” read Anand Mahindra’s tweet.
