In a tragic road accident at Kurabalakota, Annamayya district, Andhra Pradesh, three individuals lost their lives and 11 others were injured in a collision between a lorry and a mini truck. The incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, according to local police.
The victims were part of a group of 14 returning from Tirumala to Bagepalli in Karnataka. Their journey on the Kadiri-Madanapalle highway turned fatal when a lorry reportedly traveling in the wrong direction crashed head-on into their mini truck. This accident happened around 6:15 am.
Madanapalli Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Mahender stated that they had departed from Tirumala between 3:00 and 3:30 am. Tragically, upon collision, three individuals succumbed immediately, while the remaining passengers were transported to a hospital with non-critical injuries.
Eyewitnesses reported having seen two lorries near the accident site, a notorious spot for accidents due to a perilous narrow curve, despite existing warning signs. Law enforcement is currently taking steps to register a case in connection with the incident.
