The death toll in the tragic BEST bus accident in Kurla West, Mumbai, has risen to seven, with 42 others reported injured, officials confirmed on Tuesday. The devastating accident occurred on Monday night when a BEST bus lost control and rammed into pedestrians and vehicles along SG Barve Marg.
The bus, which was headed towards Andheri, collided with 30-40 vehicles over a stretch of 100 meters before crashing into the RCC column of the Solomon Building, breaking its compound wall, according to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
In response to the tragedy, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced a financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for the families of the deceased.
