Mumbai:
Three people were killed and 17 were injured after a state-run bus rammed some vehicles on a busy road in Mumbai’s Kurla (West) on Monday.
The brakes of the BEST bus may have failed, a municipal corporation official told news agency PTI.
The injured people have been admitted to Sion and Kurla Bhabha Hospitals.
The accident happened at 9.50 pm. The BEST bus route number 332 was going from Kurla station to Andheri.
The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Undertaking, or BEST, provides transport service to the entire city and also extends its operations outside city limits into neighbouring urban areas.
The official said the bus driver lost control and rammed some pedestrians and vehicles. It then crashed into the gates of a residential complex, the official said.
