Six hurt as BEST bus slams median in Powai, third mishap in a week

A BEST bus on route A-422 crashed into a median near Powai Vihar Complex on July 24, 2026, injuring six passengers.

The driver attempted to avoid an approaching car, causing the bus to hit the road divider.

This is the third BEST bus mishap in a week; Monday's accident in Mankhurd resulted in one fatality.

The bus is operated by EV Trans under a wet-lease model, which is under scrutiny after multiple accidents.

BEST committee chairperson Trushna Vishwasrao has called an urgent meeting with all wet-lease operators for Friday.
