Mumbai, Apr 1 (IANS): Two girls continued to be critical Sunday, a day after their drunk friend, who was driving the car they were in, rammed the vehicle into a tree, police said. A third teenaged girl who was also in the car succumbed to severe head injuries.

Rahul Mishra, 23, who was drunk, lost control of his car and rammed it into a tree early Saturday, police said here Sunday. He escaped with minor injuries and has been remanded in police custody till April 4.

There were two other boys in the car. Of them, Krishna Thewar was badly injured but is out of danger and Amit Gupta suffered minor injuries.

"Mishra was driving under the influence of alcohol. It appears the others had also consumed alcohol," said Deputy Commissioner of Police Pratap Digavkar.

The car turned turtle several times, hit a divider and collided with a stationary auto- rickshaw, whose driver sustained minor injuries.

However, 18-year-old Shivani Rawat died after she was admitted to a Mumbai hospital owing to severe head injuries. Doctors treating her said she had had a heart surgery earlier due to which her heart stopped thrice in two hours while she was being treated.

Another teenager, Nimisha Mane, who was first taken to a Bandra hospital was later shifted to Nanavati hospital in northwest Mumbai, slipped into coma due to severe brain damage. Mane is currently on a ventilator and has suffered a skull bone fracture.

Their friend Priyanka Rai, 22, is still admitted in the ICU.

This is the second incident involving drunk driving in less than a week. On March 25, Ra.One animator Charu Khandal was among three people hurt when a drunk driver slammed his car into the auto-rickshaw in which they were travelling.

    Dear parents of all the kids in that ill fated car, you are to be blamed for this incident. Can't you instill little moral values in your children s ??, why then bring them to this world...just because it happened naturally or you really wanted them to be a face of you while you are gone away from this planet. I may be a little harsh,but sorry to say, It is not for the people inside the car we have to show our sympathy ,but for the kids & people who are walking on the road, who would other wise been a target. Thank the almighty nothing such thing has happened. Will our system wake up,so has to bring in good regulations has in west and middle east,that will a big deterrent for such incidents. I know and also every one in India knows that nothing will happen and incidents like this will keep on continuing, Because we Indians have still more bigger issues to deal with??????

    Shivani Rawat MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN ETERNAL PEACE nad give comfort to your parents,family members and your beloved friends. Rahul Mishra you should be in jail for your life time as you are responsible for this deadly accident. God will never forgive you. You killed a young girl and also injured two others critically and also some other passengers in the car and the auto driver. Only thing you survived as you can face the police and the Judge to give your version of the accident. Priyanka Rai and Nimisha Mane I will pray to the Almighty for your speedy recovery and also to the others injured. I do not understand why these youngsters go to a bar and get drunk and meet such fatal accidents. They could always take a cab and this would avoid such accidents. In USA there are few drunk driving cases as the penalty is very high and the cars are confiscated and the licences are revoked for several months and the court fees are heavy. So my advice is DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE as this is for your safety and also the others who are travelling with you. I also want the police department to be more vigil about these drunk drivers.
