BEST bus catches fire after head-on collision with private, driver injured

The record

Written from the 2 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.

A BEST public bus collided head-on with a private travel bus in Mulund, Mumbai, injuring the public bus driver and causing a small fire at the scene.
The crash also briefly disrupted traffic in the area while the incident was dealt with.
Coverage so far comes from a single outlet, The Times of India's Mumbai edition, which reports the event factually — there are no competing accounts of fault, no casualty figures beyond the injured driver, and no official statements quoted.
The incident matters locally because BEST buses carry large commuter volumes, and a head-on collision plus fire on a busy city road raises immediate questions about driver safety, road discipline, and vehicle condition.
What caused the collision — speed, a lane violation, or mechanical failure — is not yet known, nor is the driver's condition beyond initial reports of injury.
Watch for a police or BEST finding on the cause, updates on the injured driver, and confirmation of whether the private bus's occupants were hurt.
