Six persons, including the car driver, his wife, and four pedestrians still continue to be in hospital, an official said.
The incident occurred Sunday when the SUV driver Shahbaz Wadi (26) lost control over the vehicle near Zakaria Bunder bus stop and hit people walking on the road. Wadi and his wife were also injured in the mishap.
A police official said Kalpesh Dhadse, who was critically injured in the accident, died at KEM hospital in Central Mumbai Monday.
