At least 15 people were injured after a container truck dashed approximately seven cars in the Kasara mountain pass on the Mumbai-Nashik highway on Sunday, police said.

The accident occurred in the evening when the truck driver lost control over the vehicle, causing it to veer off course and collide with multiple cars, a Thane district rural police official said.

''15 persons travelling in different cars suffered injuries. They were shifted to local hospitals,'' the official said, adding that some cars were badly damaged.

Police are investigating the incident to determine the exact circumstances. The hill area had received heavy rains on Saturday, which may have contributed to the accident.
