This BEST driver was headed to Vakola to bail out stranded passengers after the bridge accident. Instead, he got stuck in an accident of his own en route. Milind Masurkar was taking the double-decker 40 LTD (that usually goes from P Thakre Udyan, Sewri, to Borivli Station East) from Andheri SEEPZ to Vakola via the Western Express Highway, when it rammed into the height barrier, or gantry, erected for Metro station work in Santacruz.
