Bollywood star Akshay Kumar was indirectly linked to a road accident involving a vehicle from his security convoy late Monday night (19 January 2026) in the Juhu area of Mumbai, according to multiple police and media reports. Fortunately, Akshay and his wife Twinkle Khanna were unharmed, but the crash has raised safety concerns and prompted an investigation by traffic authorities.
What Happened in the Accident
The incident occurred around 9 pm near Mukteshwar Road in Juhu, when a speeding Mercedes reportedly struck an auto-rickshaw from behind. That rickshaw then collided with a vehicle from Akshay Kumar’s security convoy, causing it to crash and overturn on the busy street.
Police say the actor’s own car was not directly involved in the crash — Akshay and Twinkle were reportedly travelling in a separate SUV in the same convoy after returning from the airport. Emergency services were on the scene quickly, and both the auto-rickshaw driver and a passenger were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Injuries and Immediate Aftermath
Officials confirmed that at least one person — the auto-rickshaw driver — was injured and required medical attention, while another occupant of the three-wheeler was also reported hurt. Some family members of the injured driver told local media that they are seeking proper treatment and compensation for medical expenses and vehicle damage.
Eyewitness videos and images circulating on social media show the damaged vehicles at the scene, including the auto rickshaw completely crushed and the escort vehicle toppled. Bystanders and security personnel can be seen assisting with rescue efforts before authorities arrived.
Police Action and Investigation
The Juhu police have registered a case of rash and negligent driving against the Mercedes driver who struck the auto-rickshaw. Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage and speaking to witnesses to determine the exact sequence of events that led to the collision. As of now, there has been no official statement from Akshay Kumar or his representatives regarding the incident.
Actor and Family Are Safe
Despite the severity of the crash involving his convoy, multiple reports confirm that Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna were safe and did not sustain any injuries. The couple had just returned from an overseas trip, where they marked their 25th wedding anniversary with family and shared moments on social media before news of the accident broke.
Final Take
While the involvement of Akshay Kumar’s security convoy grabbed headlines, the actor and his wife were not physically harmed in the accident. The collision, caused by a speeding car hitting a rickshaw that then struck the escort vehicle, has left at least one person in serious condition and is currently under police investigation. As the case develops, authorities are likely to release more details about fault and any legal action arising from the incident.
