Fatal road accidents in Telangana

Overview

A fatal road accident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada National Highway in Telangana’s Suryapet district. A private bus carrying approximately 42 to 43 passengers, traveling from Hyderabad toward Eluru, rammed into the rear of a container truck near the Durgapuram stage in the Kodad mandal.

The collision was severe, with iron rods or industrial pillars from the truck piercing the front of the bus and reaching passenger seats. The impact resulted in the deaths of at least six people, including five women, and left between 12 and 20 others injured. Some victims were reported to be in critical condition and were transferred to hospitals in Vijayawada for advanced medical care.

Preliminary investigations by the Suryapet police suggest that overspeeding or driver fatigue may have been a factor and that the truck may have struck a road divider before being hit by the bus.

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy expressed condolences and directed officials to ensure the injured receive advanced medical care. Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar has vowed to take “strict action against negligent private travel operators” to prevent future occurrences.
