3 workers dead, 14 injured as auto and truck collide on Outer Ring Road in Hyderabad

According to a report by Aaj Tak Digital news outlet, an extremely tragic and painful road accident took place in Hyderabad city of Telangana. In this incident, a goods-carrying auto-rickshaw carrying 17 workers had a fierce collision with a truck moving ahead of it. In this entire incident, 3 people died on the spot, while a total of 14 people were seriously injured. This accident occurred around 12:45 AM in the early hours of Sunday.

This tragedy took place on the left side near milestone 147+230 on the Outer Ring Road within the limits of Rajendra Nagar police station area. According to the official information given by the police, all the people aboard the goods-carrying auto-rickshaw were laborers by profession. All these workers were returning home after successfully completing painting work at a building in the Muchintal area.

During the journey, the auto-rickshaw suddenly rammed into the rear of a speeding truck moving ahead of it with a loud bang. This collision was so powerful and strong that the entire front part of the auto-rickshaw was completely smashed to pieces. Based on the preliminary investigation of the incident, the police have expressed the possibility that the auto driver might have suddenly dozed off while driving, and presumably due to this reason this horrific accident occurred. As soon as this tragedy struck, all 14 injured people were immediately admitted to nearby different hospitals to get medical treatment. Out of all these injured, the current health condition of 10 people is reported to be extremely critical.

Even after this serious accident occurred, instead of stopping his vehicle, the truck driver made an unsuccessful attempt to escape and flee from the spot. However, alert security personnel of the Outer Ring Road showed vigilance and chased the truck for about 20 kilometers and finally surrounded, caught, and stopped it from all sides. Rajendra Nagar police have registered a relevant legal offense in this entire serious context and have started an in-depth investigation into the actual causes behind this tragedy.
