A horrific accident occurred on Thursday evening, August 7, in Mumbai’s Worli area, after a driverless trolley truck rolled down and crashed into a roadside BEST bus stop near Century Bazaar, causing significant damage. The horrific accident was caught on the CCTV camera installed in the premises.
Panic and chaos ensued after the incident, which resulted in long traffic jams on the major Worli-Dadar road. The accident occurred at around 3.20 pm in the afternoon when goods were being unloaded from the vehicle after it was parked on a slope near the Oberoi 360 West Tower in Worli.
