Three siblings were hit by a car driven by a 19-year-old at Mankhurd. The teenager was learning to drive without a learner's licence.

The injured siblings have been identified as Anshika Yadav, 7, Mahima Yadav, 9, and Ganesh Yadav, 12. The accused has been identified as Salman Haji Khan.

Police said the incident took place at about 7 am on the service road near Sathe Nagar at Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road. The Yadav siblings were on their way to school. "Instead of applying the brakes, Khan pressed on the accelerator and lost control. After hitting the children, the car rammed into the divider. The instructor who was teaching Khan to drive, fled," said sub-inspector Maya Gaikwad of Mankhurd police station.

Khan was caught by passersby, while the children were rushed to Shatabdi Hospital with fractures. The police arrested Khan and are on the lookout for his trainer.
