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.
