At least three persons were killed when a speeding car rammed into a stationery goods laden truck parked on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway on Saturday, police said here.

The crash took place near the Urse village around 7.30 a.m. when the car virtually drove into the truck that had suffered a tyre burst and repairs were underway.

The impact was so powerful that the car almost fully went under the loaded truck and was crushed, killing the three occupants on the spot, said a local eyewitness.

Among the victims are the vehicle driver and two others and the accident occurred on one of the busiest spots on the Expressway.

Two victims have been identified as Rahul B. Kulkarni, 45, and Vijay V. Khaire, 70, while the identity of the third victim is being ascertained.

Following the accident, there was a traffic jam on the affected Mumbai-Pune arm of the highway which was cleared soon by the local police, highway patrol and volunteer groups.

Though the exact causes of the crash are not clear, police suspect that the driver probably may have lost control or was dozing at the wheel.

Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party leader and MLA Rohit Pawar has made a sensational statement after Ajit Pawar’s plane crash, making it clear that black magic was performed outside Ajit Pawar’s house. The reason for this black magic is not to control the party, because on February 16, a letter was sent to the Election Commission of India in which Praful Patel was appointed as the national president. It was signed by three officials, including Sunil Tatkare and Brijmohan Srivastava. He said that his aunt Sintra Pawar was also unaware of this. This is a very worrying matter. He said that a conspiracy to completely take over the party had already been hatched, so it is necessary to investigate whether Ajit Pawar’s death was an accident or murder. He said that Ashok Kharat used to perform black magic outside Ajit Pawar’s house. After this sensational statement, political turmoil has intensified once again. Addressing the press conference, Rohit Pawar made several sensational statements in which he referred to the letter of Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare to the Election Commission to maintain dominance over the party, which he had submitted to the Election Commission 16 days after the accident. Rohit Pawar has also demanded an investigation in this matter. Rohit Pawar had earlier given the details of the FIR filed by Karnataka in the Ajit Pawar accident in the Assembly and said that the Karnataka Police has registered an FIR in this matter, while Ajit Pawar used to serve the people day and night in Pune.
