On the night of 9th December, a horrifying incident unfolded on the busy streets of Mumbai. A bus driver lost control, causing a deadly crash that left six people dead and 49 others severely injured. The tragedy occurred around 9:45 pm in the Kurla (West) area, near the bustling Kurla market. The electric bus, on route number 332, was traveling from Kurla Railway Station (West) towards Sakinaka.
