Over 70 cyclists were involved in a major accident during the Bajaj Pune Grand Cycle Tour after a chain-reaction crash occurred in Mulshi taluka on Sunday.

The incident took place on the Mulshi-Kolvan Road when the road suddenly narrowed at a sharp turn. Cyclists, who were reportedly riding at speeds of 60 to 70 kmph, failed to anticipate the sudden change in road width. When one leading cyclist lost balance, those riding close behind were unable to stop in time, leading to a large pile-up within seconds.
