Mumbai: Several passengers sustained injuries after a Mumbai corporation-run BEST bus collided with a pickup truck on Tuesday morning in the Goregaon area of the Mumbai suburbs, resulting in a major traffic jam.
The accident occurred on Aarey Colony road during peak traffic hours, and the collision caused minor injuries to multiple bus passengers.
Initial reports suggest that the impact of the collision disrupted traffic flow majorly in the surrounding area, compounding delays for daily commuters.
While no serious injuries have been reported so far, authorities are monitoring the medical condition of those involved.
Local Aarey police station is investigating the incident and making a probe to find out the cause of the crash.
Further details awaited.
Couple of days back on 9 June four passengers are feared dead and nine others injured when 13 people fell off an overcrowded local train that was about to arrive at Mumbra railway station from Kasara.
The tragedy struck around 9:20 am on Monday, near the Mumbra railway station. The injured have been admitted to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital in Kalwa, nearly 4km away, where disaster management officer Yasin Tadvi, medical superintendent Dr Malgaonkar and Kalwa police inspector were present. A medical team is attending to the injured passengers, Central Railway officials said.

The preliminary investigation suggested that the train was overcrowded and many passengers were reportedly traveling while hanging onto the train doors, a risky practice. The overcrowding led to the passengers falling off the train as the next station arrived.
The accident has disrupted local train services on the affected route, causing inconvenience to commuters. Authorities have initiated an investigation into the incident.
Central Railway CPRO Swapnil Neela said that the train guard had reported a fall among the passengers between CSMT and Kasara. Ambulances and local railway personnel reached there at 9.50 am. These passengers were standing on the stairs of the local train. He said that soon local trains will have facilities like automatic gates, so that such incidents can be avoided.
Officials have cautioned passengers to avoid unsafe travel practices to prevent such accidents.
The Railway Board has taken this matter seriously and is going to take strict steps for the safety of passengers. From now on, the facility of closing automatic doors will be mandatorily added in all the railway stations under construction in the Mumbai suburban area. Its purpose is that the doors do not remain open in the moving train and no passenger travels by hanging.
