Two killed in four-vehicle crash on Pune-Ahilyanagar Highway
A very sad car accident happened in India on a busy road called the Pune-Ahilyanagar Highway.
Four vehicles were involved: a big SUV, a huge container truck, a motorcycle, and a bus.
The truck was going very fast and hit the SUV from behind.
The SUV was trying to make a U-turn so it could go back the way it came.
The crash pushed the SUV into the motorcycle nearby.
Then a bus coming from the other direction crashed into the vehicles too.
Sadly, two people died because of this accident.
One was a businessman named Kishor Yadav, and the other was a young man named Prathamesh Lad who worked with computers.
After the crash, the road was blocked and caused a very big traffic jam for a long time.
Two people were killed in a chain collision involving an SUV, a container truck, a motorcycle, and a bus on the Pune-Ahilyanagar highway in Shirur.
