Assembly Speaker Tammineni Sitaram escaped unhurt as his vehicle met with a minor accident near Chintada village between Srikakulam and Amadalavalasa on Saturday afternoon.
According to local people, the vehicle veered into the adjacent paddy fields as the driver tried to avoid a head-on collision with an autorickshaw. None was injured in the incident.
Mr. Sitaram told the media that he was returning home to Amadalavalasa after a video conference with the Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy at the Srikakulam Collector office when the mishap occurred.
