Less than a fortnight after the accident on the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Expressway that killed 25 people, another mishap on it left 19 people, including an 11-year-old boy, injured. There were 30 passengers on board a luxury bus that collided with a trailer from behind it around 2.30 am on Wednesday near Aurangabad. The bus was going from Nagpur to Pune and was about to exit Aurangabad while heading towards Ahmednagar.
“It happened near Sawangi when the bus accelerated and collided with the truck in front of it. We suspect the bus driver fell asleep. A case has been registered against the travel company, and the driver will be taken into custody once his treatment is completed,” said PI Ravindra Nilenge of Fulambri police station, located 20 km from the accident site.
