Mumbai: Six people died and at least 49 others were left injured after a Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport Undertaking (BEST) bus rammed into pedestrians and vehicles along SG Barve Marg in Kurla West, Mumbai on Monday night.
The bus was lost its control while it was heading towards Andheri. According to reports, it collided with 30 to 40 vehicles before over a 100-metre stretch and then crashed into the RCC column of the Solomon Building, breaking its compound wall.
After initial inquiry, BEST said the driver had lost control, leading to the accident in which several vehicles were dragged or damaged along the way. The bus ‘speed was accelerated’ after the driver lost control over the wheels.
The bus driver, Sanjay More, has been detained, police said. Three persons were brought dead from the crash site to nearby Bhabha Hospital. The toll rose to 6 on Tuesday morning.
