A bus traveling from Pune to Nagpur crashed into a deep trench on the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar–Jalna Road on Saturday around 4:30 am, resulting in one death and 28 injuries. The victim was the bus cleaner, Sai Sanjay Shinde, aged 22, from Shirdi. Two passengers are in critical condition. The bus, a luxury vehicle (MH 43 CK 0800) with two drivers and two cleaners, had 25 passengers on board.
The drivers lost control near Fetehpur Shivar, causing the bus to break through the bridge's safety walls and plunge into a 20-foot-deep nullah. Police suspect driver fatigue, questionable physical condition, excessive speed, or insufficient rest before the journey. The investigation will determine the exact cause. An ambulance team from Jagadguru Narendracharya Maharaj Sansthan rushed to the scene and transported the injured to the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH). Traffic was severely impacted, but authorities cleared the area and reopened the road.
