Thane, Mar 10 (PTI) Three persons were injured after a test-drive car lost control, rammed into parked vehicles and plunged into a deep construction pit in Maharashtra’s Thane city on Tuesday evening, officials said.
The accident occurred at 7.28 pm near a hotel in the Pachpakhadi area of Naupada, said the district Disaster Management Cell.
