Pune-Nashik Highway : 14 Passengers Suffer Minor Injuries in Shivshahi Bus Accident

In a harrowing incident on the Pune-Nashik highway, a Shivshahi bus narrowly averted a catastrophic collision by swerving to avoid a two-wheeler coming from the opposite direction. The bus ended up colliding with a container in the process. 

Fortunately, despite the intensity of the collision, 14 passengers onboard the Shivshahi bus sustained only minor injuries, and no fatalities were reported. The incident unfolded at the Narayangaon locality along the Pune-Nashik highway.

Details emerging from the scene reveal that the Shivshahi bus was en route to Nashik from Pune. Amidst this journey, as the bus approached the Narayangaon bypass, the driver made a split-second decision to veer off course in an attempt to prevent a potential collision with the two-wheeler. Unfortunately, in the process of evasive maneuvering, a collision ensued between the bus and a container that was sharing the road.

The impact of the collision led to minor injuries for 14 passengers who were promptly attended to by emergency services. A dramatic twist occurred as the bus’s doors unexpectedly became locked following the collision. Undeterred, resourceful passengers shattered the front glass to escape the confined vehicle.

These resilient individuals, although injured, managed to exit the bus and were subsequently transferred to a hospital for initial medical treatment. Remarkably, some of the passengers expressed a sense of relief that the incident did not escalate into a grave tragedy, acknowledging the fortunate outcome considering the circumstances.
