At least 30 people have been injured after a tanker crashed into several vehicles at Pune's Navale bridge on Sunday.
The accident resulted in a 48-vehicle pileup, a Pune Fire Brigade official said, reports NDTV.

According to local media, the brakes of a tanker failed and it collided with several vehicles. During the accident, which reportedly occurred at 9 pm, oil spilled onto the road making it slippery which caused other vehicles to be added to the pileup.
Navle Bridge is becoming a hot spot for accidents in the last few days. On Friday, a woman was killed after being hit by a speeding car near the bridge on the outer ring road.
