88 killed in accidents on Samruddhi Expressway since December 2022: Maharashtra official

As many as 88 people have lost their lives in road accidents in the last six months on Samruddhi Expressway in Maharashtra, including 25 on Saturday as a private bus caught fire after hitting a divider, an official said. Road hypnosis is cited as one of the causes of the accidents on the six-lane wide access-controlled expressway, the official said. Most of the accidents were caused due to reasons like over-speeding, drivers dozing off at the wheel, and tyre bursts.
