Hyderabad witnessed a devastating road accident on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada highway, resulting in six fatalities and 20 injuries. The incident occurred at Dorakunta near Suryapet district around 5 am. A lorry carrying metal poles was en route from Suryapet to Vijayawada when the driver attempted to overtake a bus. In a misguided attempt, the lorry driver collided with the road divider at high speed, causing the vehicle to veer onto the median before coming to a halt.
Minutes later, the bus driver, oblivious to the accident, hit the lorry. The collision caused significant damage, with half of the lorry resting on the divider and the other half on the road. Despite the onlookers and passersby alerting the police, the driver failed to notice the obstruction. The rear of the bus sustained the most significant impact, leading to a portion of the vehicle being crushed and passengers trapped inside.
Panic ensued as injured passengers screamed for help, with some managing to escape through the windows.
The bus, carrying more than 40 passengers, was traveling from Hyderabad to Eluru in Andhra Pradesh. The accident caused a significant traffic jam on the highway.
