A rescue operation is underway after a massive road accident left more than 30 people injured on Sunday night following a 48-vehicle pile-up on the Pune-Bengaluru highway in India.
The pile-up was purportedly caused by a truck's brakes failing, causing the driver to lose control.
A police official told local media on Monday that 24 out of the 48 vehicles involved suffered serious damage. Miraculously, nobody died.
Rescue teams are working towards clearing the damaged vehicles from the road so that traffic can resume.
