Twenty minutes before a sleeper coach to Goa crashed and killed two, both passengers and a fellow motorist had flagged the driver’s rash driving online

Preliminary findings suggest the bus failed to negotiate an “upward gradient” due to excessive speed
Just 20 minutes before a bus crashed on the Mumbai-Goa highway on Friday, killing two passengers and injuring 38 more, a motorist trailing behind the sleeper coach had seen the bus driver driving erratically and even reported it to the RedBus app.
This “digital warning” is now being scrutinised by the Nagothane police as grounds to prove criminal negligence by the bus driver. Survivors have already alleged that driver Hemant Patil, 33, was intoxicated.
