The injured have been rushed to a nearby hospital and they are receiving treatment for their injuries. There are no reports of any casualties in the horrific accident. The drivers should be careful while driving during monsoon season as the roads are slippery and the visibility is also low due to heavy rains. Maharashtra has been witnessing heavy rains for the past few days and also Mumbai is receiving heavy rains for the past few days.
The tourists are attracted to waterfalls which are seen mostly during the monsoon. However, they should be careful while visiting such tourist attraction and also park their vehicles away from the highway. They should also refrain from going in the middle of the waterfall, as the water level rises the speed at which the water flows also increases.
