Overview
- The silver transport van that crashed near the Charoti flyover Friday morning left two people dead and one injured.
- The cargo totaled about 600 kilograms of silver bars valued at roughly Rs 17.66 crore.
- Police said the van, owned by Nakoda Bullion and operated by Modison Ltd on a Mumbai-to-Vapi run, lost control, hit the divider, crossed into oncoming lanes, and struck a trailer.
- Officers recovered the bullion, took it into police custody for safekeeping, and used a crane to clear the wreck so traffic could move again.
- A large force locked down the site because of the high-value load and an armed guard in the van, and investigators have opened a probe into the cause.
