Two cars collided with each other at Shindole-Cortalim on Thursday afternoon, leaving a few occupants in both cars injured in the mishap.
Sources said one car was speeding and overtaking along the narrow road and dashed against an oncoming car moving from the highway towards Cortalim.
Locals summoned the 108 ambulance service and shifted the injured persons to the hospital. They have now demanded immediate measures along the stretch of road which has now become an accident-prone zone.
A local resident, Eddie Fernandes, said there had been another accident a few days ago where a woman and her child were dashed and dragged by a speeding car.
“This is a very narrow road and there are many sharp turns along the road. We have seen many people drive in a rash manner along the road, causing accidents. This road is connected to the highway and quite often, the rent-a-car motorists are unaware of the narrow and winding road,” said Fernandes.
"Authorities must immediately take remedial steps and have a joint inspection to lay speed limits along the road or have speed breakers in place.”
