Hyderabad: A truck rammed into a public area after the driver lost control of the vehicle, resulting in a few deaths on the spot. The incident occurred on Monday in Ranga Reddy, approximately 50 km away from Hyderabad.
The driver lost control of the truck and crashed into a footpath where local vendors had set up vegetable stalls. Following the incident, police arrived at the scene, and injured victims were rushed to local hospitals. The truck driver was also injured in the accident.
More details on the incident are awaited.
In separate incident, several two-wheelers skidded on Hyderabad's Kushaiguda-Nagaram road after an oil tanker leaked fuel while passing through the area. Reportedly, the incident left several bikers injured. A video from the scene, which surfaced on social media, is now going viral. The footage shows both men and women lying on the road next to their fallen two-wheelers.
In the clip, some people are seen still on the road, while others attempt to lift their damaged vehicles. The incident caused significant disruption in the area, with traffic coming to a standstill.
The police immediately reached the scene, assisted drivers in moving their vehicles away from the spill, and began clearing the slick surface. To mitigate the risk, a traffic diversion was set up, and workers used sawdust and sand to absorb the spilled fuel. No serious injuries have been reported. The driver of the fuel tanker has not been identified, and further investigation into the case is underway.
