Thane, September 13: A road accident near Gaimukh Ghat on Ghodbunder Road resulted in a heavy sand dumper overturning, causing temporary traffic disruptions but no reported injuries. The incident occurred around 04:44 AM on September 13, 2026, when the dumper struck a passenger car, leading to the dumper's overturning. The dumper, a Tata Hyva carrying 28 tonnes of sand from Gujarat to Thane, lost control while descending the steep Gaimukh Ghat.
It collided with an adjacent Maruti Suzuki Eeco car, driven by Mr. Arvind Kumar. After the collision, the dumper tipped over onto the road, spilling its cargo of sandbags. Emergency services, including the Gaimukh Traffic Police, fire brigade, and the Regional Disaster Management Cell, responded to the scene. They used a JCB excavator to clear scattered sandbags, restoring road access.
Authorities reported that despite the incident causing slow-moving traffic, no injuries were sustained.
