A speeding BEST bus loses control and crashes into two cars waiting at a traffic signal near Lodha Junction in Mumbai’s Wadala area, leaving six people injured. Reports say the collision traps the cars between the bus and another BEST vehicle, and emergency services transport the injured to Sion Hospital.
Several outlets describe the incident as occurring around 8.30pm on Monday. Police clear the damaged vehicles from the road to restore traffic flow, and investigators work to determine what led to the bus losing control. One account adds that the Ertiga and Creta were stationary at the signal before the impact, and notes the severity of injuries, including a serious leg injury to the Ertiga driver. Another outlet similarly says the driver is held and that authorities are examining the cause of the crash.
