A cleaner died and two students of St. Xavier's School, Goregaon, suffered injuries when the bus they were travelling in met with an accident on the Western Express Highway (WEH) early on Tuesday morning. The incident happened when the bus rammed into the Metro barricades on the stretch near NESCO and then grazed past them. The Vanrai police have arrested the driver and registered a case of rash and negligent driving against him.

According to the police, the accident took place around 6.30 am when the bus was on the way to the school with 30 children, an attendant and the cleaner – Umesh Gurav – on board. As Gurav was standing at the door, he got caught between the vehicle and a barricade, and died in the incident. One of the students, 12-year-old Deep Nor was sent home after being administered first aid, while the other injured student, 13-year-old Amogh Warang, was taken to Holy Spirit Hospital, where he is undergoing treatment for a suspected fracture.
