Maha Tragedy: 9 killed as truck rams 2 vehicles, crashes into Dhule dhaba (Ld)

Dhule, July 4:  At least nine persons were killed and 25 more injured when a container truck rammed two vehicles, lost control and then crashed into a wayside dhaba and bus stop in Dhule, an official said, here on Tuesday.

The grisly accident occurred near the Palasner village around noon when the truck reportedly lost control after a brake failure on the Mumbai-Agra National Highway in the district.

The truck hit two smaller vehicles, veered out of control and headed into the eatery near a bus-stop on the highway, as people started running helter-skelter.

The crash took place when the truck was heading from Madhya Pradesh towards Dhule.

Senior officials have rushed to the spot for investigations.
