The vehicle lost control and plunged into a deep canal while devotees were on their way for Anjaneyaswamy darshan; locals rescued the injured and shifted them to Jagtial hospital.
Jagtial: Five women and three children were among 12 persons injured when the brakes of their vehicle failed and it overturned near Nachupally JNTU College in Kodimyal mandal on Tuesday. The group was on its way to the Kondagattu Anjaneya Swamy temple in Jagtial district.
Police said the victims, hailing from Dharmasagar mandal of Warangal district, were travelling from Vemulawada when the accident occurred near a canal. They were rushed to the Jagtial Area Hospital, where they are undergoing treatment.
Just days earlier, an autorickshaw carrying pilgrims from Godavarikhani lost control due to brake failure while descending the Kondagattu hill, leaving four people injured. Locals and police noted that the steep terrain and mechanical strain are contributing to frequent mishaps in the area.
