Deadly Crash: 6 Killed as Car Enters Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway From Wrong Side

The accident occurred at around 11 pm. A Swift Dzire entered the highway from the wrong side after refueling and collided with an Ertiga traveling from Nagpur to Mumbai. The impact was so severe that the Ertiga was thrown into the air, landing on the highway barricade, while passengers were ejected from the vehicle onto the road.

The other car was left severely damaged. Tragically, six individuals lost their lives at the scene, with visuals showing their bloodied bodies on the highway. Upon receiving notification of the accident, the Samruddhi Highway Police and Jalna Police swiftly responded to the scene.

A crane was utilized to remove the vehicles, and the injured were transported to the district hospital for treatment. The Samruddhi Mahamarg is a 701-km-long access-controlled expressway in Maharashtra, currently operating as a partially functional six-lane roadway. It is among the nation’s longest greenfield road projects, linking Mumbai with Nagpur, the state’s third-largest city.
