According to the police, the driver of the lorry, Janaki Ramulu, had parked his vehicle near Wonderla on the Ravirala Outer Ring Road stretch and was cleaning the windscreen when the truck rammed it.

“Apparently, as it was drizzling, the driver of the truck did not notice the lorry parked on the road and rammed it from behind. Anil and Vishal who were in the truck died on the spot,” Adibatla Inspector P Narendar said.

The police had to toil hard to get Umesh out of the badly mangled truck and shift him to hospital. The bodies were meanwhile shifted to Osmania General Hospital mortuary for autopsy. A case was registered against the lorry driver for parking his vehicle negligently without taking precautionary measures.
