A 55-year-old man in Vile Parle was crushed by a JCB excavator driver while the road was being dug early on Sunday. In a similar incident a few days ago, another JCB killed a 21-year-old man and seriously injured two others when the Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) pipeline caught fire at MIDC in Andheri.

In Vile Parle, while the road was being dug, the JCB driver reversed and crushed a 55-year-old man. Without helping the victim, the driver and the cleaner fled the scene with the JCB, later parking it in another location. However, with the help of CCTV footage, the driver was traced, and the police managed to arrest the duo.
