Twelve people escaped with minor injuries when a lift carrying them crashed from the fourth floor of the C-wing of Trade World building, at Kamala Mills compound in Lower Parel, on Wednesday. While 11 of them were rushed to Parel’s Global Hospital by bystanders, one person was taken to the BMC-run King Edward Memorial Hospital. The maintenance manager claimed the lift was maintained regularly, while a member of his team said it was to be replaced.

Dr Jigna Rudradatta Shrotriya, head medical administrator at Global Hospital, said it received four female patients and seven male patients, and neither sustained major injuries. “Fractures were ruled out in all of them after doing X-rays,” she said. After observation, all the 11 patients were discharged.
