Three people were killed and 15 others injured in an accident on Wednesday morning when an auto-rickshaw collided with a bus and several other vehicles on the Mumbai-Agra highway in Maharashtra’s Thane district.
The incident occurred at around 4:15 am near the Khinavli bridge at Ghoteghar village in Shahapur taluka, according to police.
Authorities said the auto-rickshaw driver lost control of the vehicle, which first hit the road divider, then swerved into the opposite lane, colliding with a private luxury bus, two cars, and a tempo traveling in the opposite direction.
Three passengers in the bus were killed instantly, and 15 others, including the auto-rickshaw driver, sustained injuries. The bus was reportedly traveling from Nashik to Mumbai at the time of the accident.
Shahapur police have launched an investigation into the incident.
