On April 13, 2025, at 8:30 AM, a sad accident happened on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway. Two people lost their lives: Sachin Mahendra Dedhia, a well-known expert in artificial intelligence, and Parmeshwar Shivling, who was driving the cab. They crashed into a truck that was parked on the side of the road. This accident shows how important road safety is, especially on busy highways.
The truck had stopped on the emergency shoulder because it was having engine problems. This created a dangerous situation for cars driving by during the busy morning hours. The truck driver didn’t put up any warning signs, which is why he’s being charged with careless driving that caused the deaths.
Both Dedhia and Shivling died right away from the crash. Dedhia was on his way to give a talk about new ideas in artificial intelligence. The accident caused a big traffic jam, and emergency services quickly came to help and clear the area.
Dedhia’s family has filed a complaint, leading to a police investigation into what happened. The police are looking into many things like how the truck was parked, how visible it was, and if the truck driver followed the rules for stopping on the highway.
This tragic event has raised concerns about safety on fast roads, especially during busy times. Dedhia was a respected person in his field, and his loss is felt deeply.
This situation reminds everyone how important it’s to follow road safety rules and take care of vehicles. Authorities hope the investigation will lead to better safety rules for stopping vehicles on highways like the Pune-Mumbai Expressway. Discussions are ongoing about how to prevent similar accidents in the future.
