Hyderabad: Six people, all belonging to the same family, were killed and four injured when a car rammed into a lorry in Kodad mandal of Suryapet district early Thursday morning.
The car, carrying the victims, was en route to Vijayawada when it collided with the truck, which was parked on the roadside for repairs along the Hyderabad-Vijayawada highway, said Kodada DSP Sridhar Reddy.
Four passengers sustained minor injuries and were shifted to a government hospital.
The family chose to travel at night due to the high summer heat during the day.
Reportedly, the lorry driver didn’t use indicators to warn other road users, leading to the accident.
