A devastating incident unfolded on the old Mumbai-Pune highway, where a couple’s journey took a tragic turn as their motorcycle collided with a private luxury bus, resulting in the death of the wife and critical injuries to the husband.
Surekha and Anand Sanas were traveling from Navi Mumbai to Pune when the unfortunate incident occurred between Lonavala and Khandala. Negotiating a challenging turn, their motorcycle collided head-on with a private luxury bus traveling in the opposite direction.
The collision proved fatal for Surekha Anand Sanas, who tragically lost her life at the scene. Her husband, Anand Sehdev Sanas, sustained severe injuries and was promptly rushed to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention. CCTV footage from a nearby Zara hotel captured the grim accident, leading to the apprehension of the bus driver by the Lonavala police, who are currently conducting a thorough investigation into the matter.
This tragic event underscores the mounting concerns surrounding the safety of the old Mumbai-Pune highway, which has witnessed a worrying increase in accidents in recent times. It serves as a poignant reminder of a similar tragedy near Kamshet at Naigaon, where two lives were lost, and four others sustained injuries, highlighting the pressing need for bolstered safety measures along this bustling highway.
