Hyderabad Minor’s Rented Car Crash Injures Two Brothers, Damages Motorcycles
On Sunday, August 2, 2026, a 17‑year‑old boy drove a rented white Maruti Baleno in Karmika Nagar, Hyderabad, after the vehicle’s keys were left inside by a 19‑year‑old renter. The minor lost control of the car, striking two brothers—Raj Kumar, 60, and Prabhakar, 55—who were on their way to church, and damaging seven parked motorcycles.
Raj Kumar was trapped under the vehicle and was taken to MagnAid Hospital in critical condition; Prabhakar suffered a leg fracture and was admitted to Star Hospital. Madhura Nagar Police registered a case, opened an investigation, and placed the teenager in custody. A video of the crash circulated online, showing the car careening through the area before the collision.
The incident has revived public concern over underage driving and the enforcement of traffic laws in the region.
