27 Killed In Maharashtra Bus Accident

A state transport bus has met with an accident that is believed to have claimed at least 27 lives at Tokawade. The place lies in Malshej Ghat, at a distance of about 150 km from Thane. According to authorities, 40 people were traveling in the bus, and so the toll is expected to go up.

It appears the bus hit a speeding truck on the road, and as a result was knocked into the deep valley adjacent to the road. According to the disaster control office, “The district headquarters got the message around 10.30 am and a team comprising police personnel, medical attendants and rescue workers was rushed to the spot. The number of casualties is not known immediately as the spot of the mishap lies deep into the valley.”

However, the true cause of the accident is debated as some reports hint at the driver losing balance while taking a sharp turn. The injured have been rushed to the nearby hospitals in Murbad and Tokawade.
