The incident took place at around 1 pm on the Cadila-Ghodasar flyover where the two deceased, Hrudayanand Ramlakshman Yadav and Ronak Dinesh Shrimali, were part of a team attempting to tow a dead AMTS bus with another one.
DCP Traffic (East) Safin Hasan said, “While the two foremen were towing the bus with another, the towline snapped on the bridge. The two men were repairing the towline when a smaller Eicher vehicle hit the AMTS bus in disrepair from behind, crushing the two men between the two buses.”
