An ST bus travelling from Nashik to Patan met with an accident in the ghat area located on the Saputara-Malegaon National Highway. According to a report by Sandesh, the driver attempted to gain control of the bus after the brakes failed, but he was unsuccessful, and the bus collided violently with an Eicher tempo ahead of it.
Following the powerful impact, the ST bus plunged into a gorge adjacent to the road. On the other hand, due to the collision with the bus, the Eicher tempo crashed into a tree standing by the roadside. The tempo driver was critically injured in this incident.
A major loss of life was averted due to the promptness of the bus driver, and all passengers on board the bus were saved safely. However, the bus has sustained heavy damage in this accident. The front portion of the bus was severely damaged, with the front windshield shattered and other parts, including the bumper, damaged.
