The incident was reported by traffic police to the local control room at 12.35 am, Thane Municipal Corporation's disaster management cell chief Yasin Tadvi said

"The driver appeared to have lost control of the truck while crossing the Patlipada bridge. The vehicle rammed into the central divider and crashed into a street light pole, causing the truck's cabin to crumple completely," he said

Traffic police personnel, a disaster management cell team and fire brigade rushed to the spot

The accident left iron rods and pipes, weighing nearly 8 tons, scattered across the road and oil from the damaged vehicle also spilled on the route, blocking traffic in both directions
