After Buldhana bus tragedy, a car-jeep collision occurred at Nasik, which killed 4 people. As per official statement, the incident took place near Khori Phata on Vani-Saputara highway. The car was heading for Vani from Saputara while the jeep was coming from the opposite direction.

The deceased were among the passengers who were travelling in the car. They were identified as Vinayak Govind Kshirsagar (37), Yogesh Dilip Wagh (18), Jatin Anil Phawde (23) and Ravindra Motiram Chavan (22), all residents of Motha Koliwada, Vani. The injured people with serious injuries have been shifted to Nashik District Civil Hospital.

The incident happened shortly after twenty-five persons were charred to death in a bus crash in Maharashtra’s Buldhana on Saturday.

The accident took place at Samruddhi-Mahamarg Expressway in Maharashtra’s Buldhana around 1:30 am on Saturday. Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan earlier informed that the bus driver and conductor have been taken into custody by police.

“The bus was travelling from Nagpur to Pune when it met with an accident at around 1:30 am. The driver said that the accident took place after a tyre burst, leading to flames in the bus. Later the diesel tank of the vehicle caught fire. There are three children among those who died and the rest are adults. The exact reason for the accident has not yet been ascertained,” Buldhana Superintendent of Police (SP) Sunil Kadasane told reporters.

Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis also reached Buldhana Civil Hospital to meet the injured patients.
