One killed in accident on ORR

One person died while another was injured when a rashly driven truck crashed into two stationary mini trucks on the Outer Ring Road in Keesara on Friday afternoon. The victim was identified as P Ramulu (45), a driver from Bairamalguda in LB Nagar while the injured person was Sudarshan (43), a driver from Gurramguda.

According to the police, Ramulu was proceeding from Nagole to Gajwel through the ORR in his Bolero Max truck loaded with coconut fiber. When he reached near Exit No 8 of the ORR in Keesara at 11 am, the vehicle’s rear left tyre got punctured.

“As he had no jack in his vehicle to repair and fix a spare tyre, he stopped Sudarshan’s vehicle which was passing by for help. While Ramulu was changing the flat tyre, a truck which was being driven in a rash and negligent manner hit Ramulu’s vehicle from behind,” said an official, adding that the heavy vehicle went and hit Sudarshan’s vehicle too. The truck dragged Ramulu on the ORR for a few meters, killing him on the spot. Sudarshan suffered grievous head injuries.

Based on a complaint from Ramulu’s wife Padma, a case of negligence causing death and injuries was booked and is being investigated. Efforts are on to identify and nab the truck driver, who is absconding.
