Couple killed, son injured after car collides into private bus at Dahisar

MUMBAI: A couple in their fifties were killed and their 25-year-old son was injured after their car rammed into a private bus on the Dahisar Link Road flyover on Thursday. The bus driver, Rahul Vishwakarma, has been arrested, police said. The couple, Shivhari and Shobha Bangera, lived at Kandarpada in Dahisar East with their son, Rohan. The road crash occurred not far from their residence. The couple and their son were travelling in their car on the Link Road bridge from Dahisar West to East around 12.15 pm. A private bus moving in front of the car suddenly moved to the left without putting on the indicator. The car crashed into the bus from the rear. While the bus was not damaged, the car was completely mangled. The couple and their son suffered grievous injuries and lost consciousness due to the impact. They were rushed to a hospital where the couple was pronounced dead. Their son is critical. "The bus driver didn't attempt to flee from the spot and was not under the influence of alcohol. We booked him under section 304 (A) of IPC for negligence. He is a native of UP and was driving to Pune," said a police officer. The police are now making inquiries with the Bangeras' neighbours in order to locate their relatives.
