Fire engines and rescue teams rushed to the spot and began firefighting and relief operations immediately after receiving the alert.
The accident caused a complete traffic standstill on the national highway, leading to a massive jam stretching several kilometres.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis expressed condolences to the victims’ families and announced an ex gratia of ₹5 lakh for each bereaved family.
The Pune crash comes close on the heels of another major road accident in Tamil Nadu’s Ariyalur district, where a truck carrying over 100 LPG cylinders overturned earlier this week, triggering a massive fire and a chain of explosions.
