The jeep driver, Sanjay Khatpe, sustained severe injuries and is receiving treatment.

The truck driver has been booked under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) as investigations continue. The incident underscores the dangers of reckless driving on busy highways, leaving authorities and locals grappling with the aftermath of the deadly collision.
