Tragedy struck on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway in Maharashtra’s Palghar district as a Gujarat state transport bus collided with a crane, resulting in the loss of one life. The incident occurred around 3 am when the crane, which had initially hit a road divider on the highway, was in the process of reversing, as reported by a Palghar police official.
The bus, operated by the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation and carrying 35 passengers, collided with the crane from behind at the Dapchari check post on the Maharashtra-Gujarat border during this maneuver. Regrettably, the accident claimed the life of the crane’s cleaner. Subsequently, the deceased individual’s body was sent to a government hospital for postmortem examination, according to the police. This tragic incident serves as a somber reminder of the importance of road safety and diligence in such high-risk situations.
