Nine people were killed and 12 others were injured after a bus of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation rammed into a stationary tempo near Narayangaon in Pune district amid heavy rains on Monday morning.
The bus was heading for Pune from Trimbakeshwar in Nashik district. Prima facie, it appeared that the bus driver could not see the tempo due to heavy rain.
The accident took place at around 1.45 am when the driver of the tempo, which was carrying onions, had halted by the roadside to change a flat tyre. Identities of the deceased are yet to be ascertained. Injured passengers are being treated at nearby hospitals.
