The accident caused the death of seven people, and 42 others were injured. Rescue teams quickly reached the spot and took the injured to nearby hospitals.
The bus was going from Kurla station to Sakinaka when the driver lost control. Over a stretch of 100 meters, the bus crashed into 30-40 vehicles and dragged them along. It finally stopped when it hit the RCC column of the Solomon Building and broke its compound wall. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) confirmed that the bus was an electric vehicle made by Olectra Greentech, a company from Hyderabad. BEST had rented this bus as part of its fleet.
The driver, Sanjay More, has been taken into custody by the police. BEST officials said the bus sped up uncontrollably when the driver lost control. They are now investigating why this happened and whether it was due to a mechanical problem or driver error.
