Accident in Nalgonda
Hyderabad: Two people were killed and six others injured when three cars collided on the Vijayawada-Hyderabad Highway in Telangana’s Nalgonda district on Sunday, June 28.
The accident was triggered by a tyre burst, causing a multi-vehicle pile-up of such severity that passengers were flung out of the vehicles on impact. Videos circulating on social media showed one car overturned, with onlookers rushing to assist the injured at the scene.
The crash caused a traffic jam on the highway for nearly an hour as police struggled to retrieve bodies from the mangled vehicles.
The deceased were identified as Kasireddy Devendar Reddy and Saritha, both residents of Akkanapally village in Narketpally mandal. The six injured were shifted to a hospital in Choutuppal for treatment.
A case of death due to negligence has been registered under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Further investigation is underway.
