Mumbai : A tanker carrying milk to Mumbai overturned near Khandala tunnel on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Due to the high speed of the tanker during the accident, the tanker spun about 50 feet after the accident. One has died.

The tanker did not collide with any other vehicle, thus avoiding a major accident on the highway. But unfortunately one person in the tanker lost his life in the accident. It is not yet clear whether the body stuck in the tanker belongs to the driver or the cleaner.

One of the lanes leading to Mumbai is currently closed as the tanker crashed into the middle line on the highway.

According to the highway police, the overturned tanker will be removed from the highway with the help of a heavy crane.

Meanwhile, the number of accidents on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway has been steadily increasing. Most of these incidents occur due to lack of speed control. Therefore, the administration is repeatedly appealing to the drivers to drive at a controlled speed with caution.
