Commuters on the Western Express Highway (WEH) were seen driving their vehicles over eggshells on Thursday after a mini tempo carrying eggs crashed near Ghodbandar village on Western Express Highway in Mira Bhayandar.
While no casualty was reported, the accident led to slow movement of traffic on the WEH for some time. The accident took place at around 3.37 pm near Varsova road, Versova, Mira Bhayandar.

Alert motorists played good samaritan as they stood there to clear the traffic congestion.
In a separate incident, a BMW car caught fire at Sion-Panvel highway over LP flyover in Navi Mumbai. The driver had a narrow escape as he managed to get out of the vehicle.
Visuals of the incident that have gone viral on social media show people and trucks waiting as the Mumbai Fire Brigade officials try to douse the fire with water.
There was a beeline of vehicles on the highway as people stood with their mobile phones, taking pictures and making videos of the burning car.
