As many as six persons were injured on Thursday in a multiple-vehicle mishap that started when a truck hit a vehicle after its brake failed on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, an official said.
"Police teams rushed to the site and sent the injured to the hospital. Vehicular traffic towards Mumbai was affected for some time," he said.
The truck hit at least 12 vehicles, leading to six persons suffering injuries, near Khopoli in Raigad district, he said. Videos from the spot showed several cars completely wrecked.
"Prima facie, it looks like the car was speeding. It first hit a divider and then went on to hit a stationary truck on the side of the road. Four occupants of the car have been injured," a senior police officer had said, according to a report by NDTV.
