    Mira Bhayandar: Dumper overturns after road collapse in Kashimira, Driver killed

    A road collapse in the Mira Bhayandar Kashimira area, near Hotel Amar Palace, caused a serious accident on Wednesday night around 11 PM. The incident took place when a dumper, passing through the section of the road, overturned after the ground beneath it caved in. Tragically, the driver of the dumper died on the spot. Two other people in the vehicle were severely injured and have been taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Emergency teams from the Kashimira Police and fire brigade rushed to the scene to assist in managing the situation. The cause of the accident is believed to be poor construction quality of the road, which might have led to the collapse. To remove the overturned dumper from the pit, a crane was brought in. The Kashimira Police have registered an accidental death report (ADR) and are investigating the incident to determine the exact cause and hold responsible parties accountable. This tragic event has raised concerns about road safety and the quality of construction in the area.
