On Thursday, a bus accident on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway near Lonavala left 23 passengers injured, with 11 of them suffering serious injuries. The police reported that the bus was traveling from Kolhapur to Borivali in Mumbai when the collision occurred early in the morning. It’s believed that the driver may have fallen asleep, leading to the bus crashing into an unidentified container truck from behind. A Pune Rural Police official stated, the bus was en route when the incident happened. The driver likely dozed off, resulting in the crash with a heavy vehicle, possibly a container or trailer. Eleven passengers sustained serious injuries, including fractures, while the others experienced minor injuries. We are in the process of filing a case. Further updates on the situation are pending as investigations continue.
