In a similar incident earlier, a massive pile-up took place last month involving 25 vehicles on the Mumbai Pune Expressway that led to the death of one woman and injured 18 others. The brakes of a trailer failed on a steep stretch of the road, and it rammed into the traffic ahead, hitting luxury cars like BMW and Mercedes.
Seven vehicles were extensively damaged, and police and authorities came to regulate the traffic. The massive pile-up led the traffic to back up for nearly five kilometres, leaving several vehicles stranded on the Expressway.
In another incident on Monday, a head constable posted on a Police Response Vehicle (PRV) died after a truck rammed into it while he was providing first aid to a road accident victim. The head constable was taking out a medical kit from the trunk of the PRV to treat an injured person when a speeding truck hit the vehicle from behind.
