Two Fatal Accidents on Pune-Mumbai Expressway Cause Deaths and InjuriesPreviousNext

Two separate accidents occurred on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway on Saturday. In the morning, a 34-year-old man died after his car collided with a negligently parked tanker near Maval; the tanker driver was booked for negligence. Later, a three-vehicle crash near the Missing Link involved two Eicher tempos and a container, killing two drivers and seriously injuring another. The second accident caused chemical spillage and temporary traffic disruption. Police investigations and rescue operations were conducted at both sites.
