According to police, Kaushik Reddy was traveling towards Huzurabad to take part in a 2K run organized as part of Telangana formation day celebrations.
When he reached near Thadikal, the driver swerved suddenly to avoid hitting a bike that came too close to the MLC’s SUV. In the process, the car driver lost control over the steering and the vehicle crashed into a roadside tree. The MLC and others traveling in the car survived without any injuries as the airbags were deployed.
Kaushik Reddy continued to Huzurabad in another car, while a farmer, who was traveling on the bike, was shifted to hospital for treatment for some minor injuries.
