One woman died and eight others were injured after a BEST bus dashed into a few vehicles in the Lalbaug area of central Mumbai on Sunday evening. The driver of the bus lost control of the vehicle following a tiff with a drunken passenger which led to the accident. Sources said the BEST bus on route number 66 rammed into two scooters and one car in melee.
Confirming the incident, the BEST spokesperson said that when the bus (Olectra Midi) was en route to Rani Lakshmi Chowk in Sion, an intoxicated passenger, identified as Datta Shinde (45), fought with the driver resulting in him losing control of the vehicle. Shinde, according to officials, pulled the steering wheel from the driver and hit nine pedestrians including two women who were in critical condition.
