The driver of the van, Mohammad Manovar, who escaped without any injuries, said, "I am still in a state of shock. I don't know how the accident happened."

According to the investigating officer, Sunil Khabe, the incident led to a four-vehicle pileup. "Some cars slowed down to avert the spill, but it resulted in a pileup when a speeding MUV crashed into other vehicles," Khabe said.
