Truck hits 12 vehicles on Mumbai-Pune Expressway; triggers huge jam
Mumbai: At least four people were injured when a truck's brakes failed and collided with at least 12 other vehicles on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway on Thursday, media reports said.
Media reports said the accident has caused a huge jam on the arterial road connecting Pune with India's financial capital Mumbai.
The multi-vehicle collision occurred near Maharashtra's Khopoli which led to at least seven to eight vehicles colliding with each other.
Videos from the accident site showed mangled and wrecked cars on the road and injured people seated inside an ambulance.
