Hyderabad: A 22-year-old engineering student met with a tragic end, while two of his friends suffered injuries, after the car they were travelling in, veered out of control and crashed into a roadside tree at Keesara on the city outskirts on Saturday.
The victim was identified as Rajender, a native of Dharmapuri in Jagtial and student of a private engineering college at Bhogaram in Keesara and staying in a hostel in Ghatkesar.
According to the police, Rajender, along with two friends Vishwa and Yashwanth, after attending a party were returning to Ghatkesar, when the mishap occurred.
Rajender, who was behind the wheel, is believed to have lost control of the car while negotiating a curve on the road, with the car ramming a tree. “The car then rolled over several times before stopping,” police said.
