The bus was travelling from Satara when it rammed into a Swift Desire and Tata Innova that had stopped to the side of the road. The Swift car had been punctured and the driver of the Innova had stopped to help change the tyre when the accident took place.
Thrown off course, the bus fell into a 20 foot ditch to the left of the highway.

The injured were immediately rushed to the MGM hospital in Panvel. Police said the death toll could rise as there were several grievously injured among those rushed to the hospital.
