Pune: Three people were seriously injured after a speeding Maruti Brezza crashed into a tractor-trolley from behind on the Ambodi flyover along the Saswad bypass in Purandar taluka of Pune district.
The injured have been identified as tractor driver Dattatray Shivaji Pawar, a resident of Pawarwadi, and the two occupants of the Brezza, Yogesh Waghmode from Fursungi and Atharva Bandgar from Uruli Devachi. All three were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
According to officials, the accident occurred when the Brezza, reportedly travelling at high speed, rammed into the rear of the tractor-trolley. The impact left both vehicles badly damaged and stranded across the flyover.
