Seventeen people were killed and around 30 others were injured near Panvel on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway in India when a bus rammed into two cars and then turned over into a ravine on Sunday morning.
According to the police, a car was standing on the road as it had a flat tyre, and MUV, standing was behind it. Passengers in the MUV had stopped to help those in the first car.
While the two vehicles had halted, a private tourist bus came from behind and rammed the MUV, which in turn rammed into the car. The three vehicles plunged into a 20ft deep roadside ditch, according to Press Trust of India (PTI).
Seventeen people including six women and a six-month-old baby were killed on the spot. Most were passengers on the bus. Some injured victims were in critical condition, the official said.
According to preliminary investigations, the bus driver failed to see the tail lights of the cars due to early morning mist.
