While revisiting SG Barve Marg in Kurla West, where an out-of-control BEST bus mowed down dozens of hapless pedestrians on Monday night, mid-day observed that several speed breakers along the route were severely damaged. Within a stretch of 450 metres, from BEST depot to Buddha Colony, four broken speed bumps could be seen.

Speaking about the condition of the road stretch, Niraj Sonawane, a Kurla West resident, said, “These speed breakers have been damaged for more than two years. A lot of redevelopment work is going on in this area. Heavy vehicles pass rapidly on this stretch. At night, these speed bumps can prove to be fatal for motorists."
