Mumbai: Three persons, including two women, were killed after the two-wheeler they were going on collided with a dumper coming from the opposite direction on a bridge at Parel in central Mumbai on Tuesday morning, police said.
The accident took place at 6.15 am, when the trio – aged between 22 and 25 years – was going towards south Mumbai, an official said.
“The two-wheeler rider lost control over the vehicle, due to which it jumped the divider and collided with a dumper coming from the opposite direction,” he said.
