Trailer Crash Near Ghatkopar Chokes Eastern Express Highway During Morning Rush

Police attribute the crash to poor lighting with the driver following Google Maps.

Overview

  • A trailer crash near Ghatkopar slowed the southbound Eastern Express Highway during Friday’s morning rush and delayed commuters headed to central and south Mumbai.
  • Police said the lorry climbed onto a divider near the Ramabai Ambedkar Flyover at about 2 a.m. and its rear section detached, blocking a lane.
  • Senior Inspector Lata Sutar said the driver was following Google Maps and likely missed the divider because the stretch was poorly lit.
  • Recovery teams used a crane to remove the damaged trailer and traffic police reopened the lane.
  • Officials reported no injuries.
