Tragic Pile-Up Near Dhule: Six Killed as Bus Rams Rescue Workers

What began as a routine two-vehicle collision on the Mumbai-Agra Highway turned into a deadly tragedy when a passenger bus careened into rescue personnel at Laling Ghat. The initial crash between a dumper and truck left several people hurt, but the situation worsened dramatically when the bus struck the damaged vehicles, killing a toll worker among the six total fatalities. Twenty-six others sustained injuries and were rushed to hospital. Highway traffic came to a standstill as emergency services cleared wreckage and treated victims. Meanwhile, a separate incident in Raigad district saw an SUV fall into a ravine, killing eight; search operations continue amid challenging terrain. Investigators are probing both accidents to determine exact causes.
