Three dead, 2 injured in road accident at Maheshwaram in Ranga Reddy district

Hyderabad: Three people were killed and two others were injured when a MUV hit a bike, went off the road and rammed into a tree at Maheshwaram on the Srisailam highway on Monday morning. Two farmers riding on the bike and the MUV driver were killed on the spot. The two injured victims were rushed to hospital.

Maheshwaram police said the driver of the MUV was speeding and driving rashly. The victims are two farmers from Kandukur, V. Sreenu, 32 and K. Ramulu, who were on the bike and MUV driver G. Ramesh.

The mishap occurred at around 9 am, when the MUV was going to Kandukur and the bikers were coming towards Hyderabad.

The MUV driver lost control over the wheels due to high speed, and went to the right side of the road where the two victims were coming on a bike. The bike and the MUV collided head on, and the duo on the bike were flung into the air. They hit the road and suffered serious injuries.

The MUV went off the road, rolled over once and hit a tree. “The bikers died on the spot due to serious head injuries. The MUV driver also died before getting any medical attention,” said inspector A. Manmohan of Maheshwaram. The dead and the injured belong to Kandukur.

The two farmers, who belong to Sai Reddy Guda in Kandukur, were coming to Hyderabad to buy material needed for farming. The MUV driver Ramesh was taking two construction workers to Kandukur from Hyderabad. The MUV was fully damaged in the accident.
