According to police, the incident occurred at around Friday evening, near Vasant Marble Complex on the Western Express Highway, when the deceased, Muradali Mohammadali Mamdani, was on the northbound arm of the WEH on his Honda Activa, MH-02-EY-1225. Suddenly, a motor truck, MH-01-CV-5297, came from the rear end and rammed into Mamdani's scooter from behind.
