Danish Zehen, a YouTube and lifestyle blogger who appeared on MTV’s Ace of Space, died after a car crash near Mumbai in the early hours of December 20, 2018. A police official quoted in a contemporaneous PTI report said Zehen was travelling toward Navi Mumbai after a wedding when the crash occurred on the Sion-Panvel Highway.
How Danish Zehen died
In a PTI report carried by NDTV on December 20, a police official placed the crash at about 12:30 a.m. on December 20, 2018. Zehen was driving back toward Navi Mumbai after attending a wedding in Kurla. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died from his injuries. His brother was travelling with him, was injured, and received treatment, according to the report. NDTV’s report
Some contemporary reports describe the crash as occurring near Vashi. Scroll, relaying police reporting through Mumbai Mirror, said a stone may have struck the car before it hit an electric pole. That is a reported suspicion, not a confirmed reconstruction: the available accounts do not establish the precise collision sequence. Scroll’s account

The contemporaneous accounts agree that Zehen died on December 20, 2018, after a crash near Mumbai following a wedding, and that his brother was in the car and injured. The most specific account—PTI’s report quoting a police official—gives the approximate time, highway, and journey. The reports do not provide a primary police release or accident-investigation finding establishing exactly how the collision occurred, so the suggested stone strike and pole impact should not be treated as conclusive.
