The people in the bus were headed from Mumbai to Patas in Pune district to cast their votes, highway police said. The injured were rushed to Pavana Hospital, Lokmanya Hospital, Nigdi and the Ozarde Trouma Centre.

Anis Sheikh, one of the persons who helped the victims, said, “The truck was stationary as its tyre had punctured. The driver of the truck was changing the tyre and the bus driver seems to have lost control over the bus and rammed it into the truck.”
