Multi-Vehicle Pile-Up On Mumbai-Pune Expressway After Truck’s Brakes Fail
The cause for the crash is yet to be ascertained.
Mumbai:
At least four people were injured in a multi-vehicle pile up on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway on Thursday, officials said. The accident started when a truck hit a vehicle after its brake failed on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. The truck eventually hit at least 12 vehicles.
The accident, which took place near Maharashtra’s Khopoli, saw around seven to eight cars crash into each other. Videos from the spot show the mangled and wrecked cars on the road with the injured people seated inside an ambulance.
No casualty has been reported yet. None of the injured have sustained any major injuries.
Earlier this, month four people where killed after their car hit a stationary truck on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
“Prima facie, it looks like the car was speeding. It first hit a divider and then went on to hit a stationary truck on the side of the road. Four occupants of the car have been injured,” a senior police officer had said.
