Panic ensued following the crash, drawing a crowd of passersby who quickly helped extract the injured from the vehicle. Approximately ten people were in the cruiser, with eight sustaining injuries. Local police arrived shortly after the incident and, with the help of bystanders, transported all the injured to Indira Gandhi Hospital in Bhivandi. Due to the severity of their conditions, four individuals were referred to another hospital for further treatment.
The driver stated that he was returning from the airport to Chalisgaon when the accident occurred amid light rain. He mentioned losing control while attempting to overtake another vehicle, leading to the collision with the parked truck.
One injured woman recounted that they had gone to the airport to drop off her brother and were returning when the crash happened.
