Around 24 vehicles were damaged and trapped in a 25-foot-deep crater after a section of the road at a construction site in Rahul Nagar, near the Eastern Express Highway in Chembur, caved in on Wednesday morning. The Slum Redevelopment Authority (SRA) issued a stop work notice for the construction site following the incident which occurred around 9 am.
While no injuries were reported, due to the cave-in, fire brigade officials have evacuated the area as a precautionary measure. The 24 vehicles damaged included four to five cars while the rest were two-wheelers. “It was a type of landslide. There was already a deep pit at the location and a side of the road collapsed into it,” said newly-appointed Mumbai Fire Brigade chief Ravindra Ambulgekar.
