‘Car Loses Control’; Previous Cases of Such Accidents
Earlier in July, a speeding car lost control and rammed in pedestrians leaving two women dead in Hyderabad’s Bandlaguda area.
After the accident took place on the main road, which is under the limits of the Narsingi police station, the driver left the keys and fled from the spot. The horrifying incident was even caught on the CCTV cameras.
In another such incident, again in early June, a car — in a hit and run case — lost control and rammed into a scooter. The accident left one person injured.
