  "account": "Mumbai, October 14, 2026: Four passengers, including two young women, were injured when a tanker collided with a BEST wet-lease bus at the Chheda Nagar signal on the Eastern Express Highway early Wednesday morning. The accident occurred around 6:55 am, involving a bus serving route A-373 from Mulund Depot carrying commuters down-bound from Vaishali Nagar to Mahul. As the bus approached the Chheda Nagar traffic signal, the driver had to brake sharply after a motorcycle cut in front of it. However, the tanker, traveling from Mumbai to Vashi, failed to stop in time and collided with the right-middle section of the stationary bus. The heavy impact shattered three windows on the bus's right side and scattered glass fragments throughout the cabin. Four passengers sustained injuries, with a 14-year-old girl receiving facial lacerations and Aditi Koyande, 22, suffering multiple glass-related cuts to her elbow and leg. The bus conductor quickly escorted the injured female passengers to Rajawadi Hospital, while the remaining passengers either refused treatment or were taken to a private medical facility by relatives. The Tilak Nagar Police have registered a case against the tanker driver for rash driving and endangering others' lives or safety under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Motor Vehicles Act.",
