A car caught fire on the Coastal Road in Mumbai on Thursday (September 25, 2025) morning, prompting authorities to stop traffic movement on the route, officials said.
The incident took place around 9.30 a.m. inside the south-bound tunnel of the Coastal Road, they said.
"Traffic movement is stopped at Coastal Road (Tardeo) south bound and north bound due to car fire," the Mumbai Traffic Police said on their X handle.

Due to the incident, traffic was diverted at Haji Ali and at the Worli connector, the officials said.
The traffic police, along with the fire brigade, rushed to the spot and the car was removed after an hour-long operation, the official said. Subsequently, traffic on both sides resumed.
The entire stretch of Coastal Road, built to cut travel time between south Mumbai and the suburbs, was opened 24×7 for all kinds of four-wheelers and buses on August 16.
Last week, a speeding high-end Lamborghini car rammed into the divider of the Coastal Road, but the driver escaped unhurt.
