Mumbai: <\/b><\/p>\n
One of the passengers, who survived the deadly collision between a private bus and a truck in Maharashtra’s Nashik district on Friday, said he had asked the bus driver twice to slow down as he was over-speeding.<\/p>\n
At least 10 people were killed and 22 injured after a private tourist bus on its way to the temple town of Shirdi in western Maharashtra’s Ahmednagar district collided with a truck near Pathare Shivar village in Nashik’s Sinnar tehsil, around 180 km from Mumbai, in the early hours of Friday.<\/p>\n
“We don’t know how it happened as everybody was asleep. But, I woke up to the sound of a crash,” the passenger said.<\/p>\n
As the packed bus collided with the truck and toppled, the survivor said he could hear other passengers screaming for help.<\/p>\n
“I was sitting in the second last seat. It was dark, but I managed to break the glass and got out of the mangled vehicle,” the passenger said.<\/p>\n
The lucky survivor claimed he had asked the bus driver to slow down on two occasions, but the latter turned a deaf ear to his requests.<\/p>\n
The bus driver, who was speeding, had applied the emergency break twice, because of which sleeping passengers kept hitting the seats in front of them, the man said.<\/p>\n
Many of the passengers of the private tourist bus were workers of a company located in Ambernath in Thane district and heading for Shirdi with their families, including women and children.<\/p>\n
A couple, a mother-daughter duo and a 15-year-old girl were killed in the accident.<\/p>\n
