According to the police, a car going towards Mumbai from Panvel side rammed into another car moving in the same direction around 9.45am. Both the cars then ended up hitting five other cars on the bridge.

Jagdish Shelkar, police inspector of Nerul traffic division, said, “The condition of the road is not so good in that area and that might have caused the accident. No one suffered injuries in the pile-up. The pile-up temporarily blocked the Panvel-Mumbai lane and that caused traffic jam for nearly an hour. Our officials removed the vehicles from the road. Things were back to normal after 11am.”

The Sion-Panvel highway is one of the most important roads in the Mumbai metropolitan region as it connects Mumbai city with the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and Mumbai-Goa highway via Navi Mumbai.
