One person was killed and two others injured seriously when the car they were travelling in fell into a deep gorge in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district Sunday, the police said.
The incident occurred near Ekal ghat on Nashik-Pune highway at around 7 AM.
The car was headed to Pune from Sangamner in Ahmednagar district, a Ghargaon police station official said.
The accident occurred after the driver lost his control over the vehicle in the ghat section, following which the car broke the protective railings and rolled down into the gorge.
Police pulled out two persons trapped inside the car with the help of locals, he said.
