The incident took place on Monday night when a speeding BEST bus hit eight to ten vehicles and pedestrians in Kurla, Mumbai. According to the latest information, six people have died and 49 people have been injured in this incident so far. Some of the injured are said to be in critical condition. Shiv Sena (Shinde) MLA from Kurla Dilip Lande visited the spot and inspected it last night. What caused this accident? The preliminary information was given.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Dilip Lande said the bus leaving Kurla station lost control due to brake failure. This scared the driver and he stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. This increased the speed of the bus. Due to this, the bus went out of control and hit some vehicles. The injured have been admitted to Seven Hill, Rajawadi and Sion Hospitals for treatment. Some have also been admitted to private hospitals for treatment. Efforts are being made to reassure the injured patients by informing them. While informing about the said accident, DCP Zone 5 Deputy Commissioner of Police Ganesh Gawde said that the preliminary view is that the accident occurred due to the loss of control of the driver. The driver has been detained by the police and the process of registering a case is underway. Was the driver drunk? When asked about this, Gawde said that no information has been received yet.
Afrin Shah (19), Anam Sheikh (20), Kanish Qadri (55) and Shivam Kashyap (18) died in this accident. Some eyewitnesses spoke to Hindustan Times. Among them, Zeeshan Ansari said, "I was standing with my friends outside the Royal Streets shop when I saw a speeding bus." The bus hit several vehicles and officials before entering Buddha Colony. We ran and pulled the bus driver out of the bus.”
