surge The survivors of the bus-truck collision on Sinnar-Shirdi highway on early Friday early morning shuddered remembering the seconds
after the dreadful accident - an explosion-like sound, travelers thrown off the seats and their desperate struggle to survive and screams
for help.Ten people, including four ladies and four children, were eliminated and 23 others were hurt in the head-on collision between the

Most of us were asleep and the bus driver was speeding
All of a sudden, we heard an explosion-like sound following the collision
As we opened our eyes, we found ourselves shook off the seat as the bus had tilted on its side
It continued to skid for nearly 100 feet before it came to a halt, remembered Darshan Patekar, who got away with minor injuries.Patekar was
sitting with a few other guests in the rear seat
Considering that it was a head-on collision, the impact of the crash was more on the front seats of the bus.Sajid Khan, another guest
sharing the rear seats with Patekar, stated he was horrified to see many passengers, including kids, resting on the flooring of the bus with
the mangled seats all over them
They were shouting for aid
I could see blood on the flooring
We could not pull them out right away since of the heavy weight of the seats, he said.Patekar and Khan were among six travelers on the rear
They handled to break the glass-panes of the windows
While some of them headed out of the bus through the damaged windows, a couple of them began getting rid of the heavy seats and saved the
people trapped under them.By that time, a few citizens of the village reached the area and got engaged in the rescue operation
The accident took place opposite Pawar Vasti at Pathare town along the Sinnar-Shirdi highway
Owing to some road work, the parallel road of the highway implied for automobiles coming from Shirdi to Sinnar was closed
Cars going to Sinnar were, for that reason, utilizing the exact same roadway as those going to Shirdi
Govind Shankar Pawar, a homeowner of Pawar Vasti, stated, The sight was dreadful
The accident took place right in front of our home and we woke up to the sound of a huge accident in between 2 heavy lorries
We were the very first ones to reach the accident spot and begin rescuing the victims

Other villagers soon reached the spot and signaled the cops and ambulances
