One person was killed and eight people were injured in two separate accidents on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway on Thursday morning. While the driver of a truck died when the vehicle collided with a container, the other accident occurred when Highway police and locals were involved in rescue operations in this mishap. The second accident, in which 10 vehicles rammed each other, took place a little ahead of the spot in Borghat where the first occurred.
