Navi Mumbai man killed as car gets trapped between 2 trucks on h'way
A 27-year-old Navi Mumbai resident was crushed to death after the car he was driving got trapped between two trucks on the
Mumbra bypass highway
early on Tuesday. A truck driver lost control while descending the bypass around 4am and rear-ended the car, sending it hurtling into a moving container truck, said senior Mumbra police inspector Anil Shinde. Both truck drivers fled the spot. A rescue team pulled the motorist,
Vishnu Pal
, out of the mangled car and rushed him to Kalwa hospital, where he was declared dead, said Thane regional disaster management cell in-charge Yasin Tadvi. A cousin said Pal worked as a supervisor with a private company and was returning home to Mahape from a wedding anniversary celebration that ran late. The car was owned by another family member. Police have lodged a case under relevant BNS sections. Traffic on the highway's Pune-bound lane was disrupted for some time owing to the accident. —Manoj Badgeri
