The accident took place on Sunday around 11 pm on the Ahmednagar-Pune highway just 10 kilometers from Shirur.

The locals all rushed to check but did not notice anything. Later, another local resident noticed some of the car's tool lying on the road and the broken divider.”
He added, “They alerted us. Immediately with the help of local residents we tried to find out what had transpired, but it was too dark. But from the wee hours of Monday, our team started working and noticed a car. We finally with the help of giant crane managed to pull out the car and found four bodies in it.”
