Deadly doze

An officer said, "The accident took place near the Bhatan tunnel around 6 am. Preliminary investigation shows that it happened after the driver dozed off while on the road. He hit the divider, and then directed the car towards a tree to avoid dashing into any other vehicles. We are investigating the matter."
Expert speak
A researcher, Tanmay Pendse, who along with his friends has studied and analysed accidents happening on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, said that the need of the hour is immediate measures to make the stretch safe for motorists.
"Strict action should be taken against those who are seen overspeeding, as this is one of the main reasons for mishaps there. Also, authorities should conduct drives against those who engage in lane-cutting. The government must carry out awareness campaigns among motorists to educate them on the dos and don’ts of Expressway driving to prevent tragedies."
