Mumbai: CCTV footage of the BEST bus accident that occurred near Plaza Cinema has surfaced online, providing a clearer picture of the moments leading up to the fatal crash. The videos, which are now circulating on social media, show the bus apparently losing control while negotiating a right turn at high speed before ploughing into multiple vehicles on the road.

One of the CCTV clips captures the bus swerving uncontrollably while taking the turn, appearing to veer off its intended path. A second video shows the bus crashing into several vehicles, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
