A late-night road accident in Mumbai’s Juhu area briefly caused panic after a vehicle from actor Akshay Kumar’s security convoy was involved in a crash. The incident took place on Monday night (January 19, 2026) near Mukteshwar Road, close to Silver Beach Cafe. One person was injured in the accident, while Akshay Kumar and his wife (Twinkle Khanna) were confirmed to be safe.
The BMCM actor had just returned to Mumbai from an overseas trip. He and Twinkle Khanna were travelling home from the airport at the time. Their SUV was part of the convoy but was not the vehicle that took the main impact. Still, the incident quickly drew attention due to the location and the involvement of a high-profile celebrity’s security team.
Police officials said the crash unfolded within seconds and involved multiple vehicles. Traffic in the area was briefly disrupted, and several locals rushed to the spot after hearing the impact.
Akshay Kumar Security Car Accident – How It Happened!
According to initial police findings, the accident began when a speeding Mercedes car allegedly hit an autorickshaw from behind. The impact caused the three-wheeler to lose control. It then crashed into a Toyota Innova that was serving as the pilot car for Akshay Kumar’s security convoy.
The force of the collision was intense. The security vehicle overturned and landed on its side. This caused panic among bystanders and other drivers on the road. Akshay Kumar’s SUV was travelling just behind the pilot car. While it was not directly involved in the crash, reports suggest it may have been lightly touched during the chaos.
Despite the dramatic scene, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna were not injured. Police confirmed that they were safe and did not require medical attention.

Injuries, Rescue Efforts And Police Action
The autorickshaw driver was injured in the accident. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment soon after the crash. Police said his condition is being monitored. Some early reports claimed the injuries were serious, while others suggested he was stable. There were also reports that a passenger in the autorickshaw may have been injured. Officials are still verifying these details.
Eyewitnesses said Akshay reacted quickly after the accident. The actor reportedly stepped out of his vehicle to check on the injured. Along with members of his team, he helped lift the damaged autorickshaw. This helped free the driver and any passengers who were briefly trapped.
Local residents and passers-by also joined in to help before emergency services arrived. Mumbai Police and fire brigade teams reached the spot shortly after. They worked to control traffic and clear the road. The overturned security vehicle was later set upright, and damaged vehicles were moved aside.
The Juhu police have registered a case of rash and negligent driving against the Mercedes driver. An investigation is now underway. Officers are recording witness statements and checking the speed of the Mercedes at the time of the crash. CCTV footage from nearby areas may also be reviewed.
Meanwhile, videos of the overturned security car and the damaged autorickshaw have gone viral on social media. Many users praised the quick response at the scene, including Akshay Kumar’s actions. However, the actor’s team has not issued an official statement so far.
Traffic in the area has since returned to normal as police continue their investigation.
