Road collision in Yadadri-Bhongir leaves one dead and four injured

One woman died and four other people suffered injuries after a speeding lorry crashed into a vehicle in a political convoy in Yadadri-Bhongir district on Friday. The crash happened at about 10.45 a.m. at Anajipuram village in Mothkur mandal while the convoy of Telangana Rajyadhikara Party MLC Teenmar Mallanna was moving toward Tirumalagiri. The lorry hit a Toyota Fortuner from behind, which was part of the convoy, while Mallanna himself escaped unhurt because his vehicle was away from the point of impact. The Fortuner then rammed into a hatchback, injuring 24-year-old Chandana and her husband Medaboyina Srinath. Chandana later passed away while receiving medical treatment for her injuries. Two other individuals named Bunny and Ranganna, who were travelling inside the MLC car, also sustained injuries during the collision, and both vehicles suffered severe damage. Mothkur police arrested the lorry driver, K. Srisailam, on allegations of causing grievous injuries due to rash and negligent driving. Authorities registered a formal case against him under Section 125(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
