Eight persons, including six passengers, were injured when a BEST bus crashed into a stationary truck in Mumbai’s Goregaon area on Friday (July 11, 2025) morning, an official said.

The injured persons, including the bus driver and conductor, were rushed to a hospital, he said.

The accident, involving a wet-leased bus of the public transporter BEST (Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport), took place in front of the Vanrai police station in the western suburb around 6.30 a.m., he said.

The vehicle was on its way to Sewree bus station from Dindoshi at the time, the police said.
