Oil tanker falls in creek, driver dead
Onlookers lowered a rope to pull him out, but the driver was not responding. The tanker was nowhere to be seen in the creek waters. It had not been found until late evening.
The tanker, which was coming from Gujarat, first hit a wooden logs-laden truck ahead of it, swerved off the road, crashed into the barriers of the Versova bridge before plunging into the creek.
The police identified the driver after getting details of the tanker from Khaniwade toll plaza (after Virar) and got the FastTag which helped identify the vehicle.

Mira Bhayandar : An autorickshaw driver has been arrested for allegedly abusing and assaulting a 28-year-old woman passenger near Mira Road station around 8.15 pm on Saturday following a dispute over payment of fare. A complaint filed by the woman at Nayanagar police station says she had hired an autorickshaw to reach Mira Road railway station. She has stated that she had to pay Rs 51 as fare, but did not have enough cash on her, and so she offered to pay via online mode. The driver refused to accept online payment and insisted that she pay cash. The woman said that since she was in a rush, she placed Rs 45 — all the cash she had on her -- on the driver's seat and was about to leave when the driver hurled abuses at her. —Vishal Rajemahadik
