Mumbai : One man was killed, and six others were injured on Monday after an electric bus of Mumbai’s civic-run transport undertaking BEST ploughed into five vehicles near Plaza Cinema in Dadar, the latest in a series of accidents that have intensified scrutiny of BEST’s wet-lease electric fleet.
The accident took place around 9.30am, when the driver of the single-decker e-bus lost control over the vehicle and crashed into a kaali-peeli taxi, two scooters and two private cars, police said. BEST has set up a four-member committee to investigate the incident, officials said.
The deceased was identified as Niyaz Ahmed Shaikh, 26, a delivery rider from Null Bazaar. Among the injured, 22-year-old student and part-time delivery rider Vrishabh Gupta is in critical condition with head injuries.
