  "account": "On a dark night, a late-night accident occurred on the Rajiv Gandhi Flyover in Bhiwandi, leading to renewed concerns over road safety. An Ola cab crashed into an RCC divider, causing significant damage to the vehicle's front end and a burst tyre. Despite the impact, both the driver and passenger emerged unharmed, offering some relief despite the alarming circumstances.\n\nAccording to the eyewitness account, the Ola car was travelling from Vanjarpatti Naka towards Kalyan when the driver was momentarily blinded by the intense headlights of oncoming vehicles. This temporary loss of vision prevented the driver from properly judging the position of the RCC divider, resulting in the unfortunate collision. The impact was severe, damaging the front portion of the car and bursting a tyre.\n\nThe incident caused a temporary disruption in traffic flow on the flyover, leading to a traffic jam for a short duration. Traffic wardens and police personnel arrived promptly at the scene following reports of the accident. The damaged Ola cab was subsequently removed from the flyover, allowing traffic to return to normalcy.\n\nThe incident has once again brought attention to the placement and visibility of RCC dividers along the Rajiv Gandhi Flyover. Motorists have expressed concerns regarding the difficulty in spotting these concrete barriers at night, particularly due to the glare from oncoming headlights. This issue has prompted calls for the installation of additional reflective tape, reflective markers, and warning signs on the dividers to enhance their visibility and provide drivers with ample time to react.\n\nPalghar National Deworming Day 2026 was also mentioned in the source, where 3,365 health workers were mobilized to cover over 5.56 lakh beneficiaries. The source highlights the repeated accidents that have occurred on the same stretch of the Rajiv Gandhi Flyover, raising doubts about the adequacy of safety measures to ensure the dividers are clearly visible to approaching motorists. The source emphasizes the need for proper street lighting and clear visibility of the barriers at night to minimize the risk of further collisions.\n\nThe source provides information on exclusive and budget-friendly property deals in Mumbai and surrounding regions.
