Thane (PTI): Four persons were killed and three others injured after a car collided with some two-wheelers and overturned on a flyover in Ambarnath town of Maharashtra's Thane district on Friday, police said.
The accident occurred around 7.15 pm on the flyover that connects the eastern side of the town to its western parts, they said.
The impact of the collision was so severe that a person riding one of the affected two-wheelers was flung in the air and fell on the road beneath the flyover, the police said.
"The driver of the car reportedly lost control and the vehicle collided against four to five two-wheelers before overturning," a police official said.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Shailesh Kale of Ambarnath said, "Four persons, including the driver of the car, were killed in the accident."

Three other individuals sustained injuries in the accident, and all of them are reported to be out of danger and have been admitted to hospitals, he said.

RCB score imposing 240/4 against MI in IPL match
Mumbai (PTI): Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar, Phil Salt and Virat Kohli blasted half-centuries as the defending champions put up an imposing 240 for 4 -- the second-highest score this season -- against Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League match here on Sunday.
Salt smashed a 36-ball 78, studded with six boundaries and as many maximums, while stalwart Kohli made a composed 50 off 38 balls, as the duo put on a polished 120-run stand for the opening wicket.
Salt was dismissed by Shardul Thakur in his very first over, the team's 11th, providing a huge sigh of relief to MI.
Skipper Rajat Patidar then took over from where Salt left off, scoring a rapid 53 off just 20 balls, studded with four boundaries and five sixes, as RCB made quite a statement.
Earlier, Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to field.
Brief scores: 240 for 4 in 20 overs (Phil Salt 78, Virat Kohli 50, Rajat Patidar 53, Tim David 35 not out).
