Two women and a child on a morning walk died after being hit by a speeding car in Hyderabad on Tuesday. The incident occurred around 7 am near Sun City in Bandlaguda Jagir, on the city's outskirts. The deceased were identified as Kavita, Anuradha and her daughter Mamata.

Local residents said the car was being driven at a high speed and in a reckless manner, which resulted in the incident. After hitting the pedestrians, the car skidded off the road and collided with a tree. The driver of the car managed to escape after the crash.

Police have launched efforts to trace the car owner and apprehend the person who was driving the vehicle.

The accident was captured in CCTV cameras and a clipping of the incident has now gone viral on social media. 

The CCTV footage shows the car, moving at a very high speed, losing control while negotiating a turn and hitting the women. The accident flung the pedestrains off the ground as the car rammed into a tree.

Earlier, two people were charred to death when a container truck caught fire after ramming into another truck in Telangana’s Medak district. The incident took place on National Highway 44 at Kaslapur village in Narsingi mandal.

A container truck, en route from Bengaluru to Hyderabad, collided with another truck that was parked on the road due to a tyre puncture.

The impact of the collision caused a fire in the container truck, resulting in the deaths of the driver and cleaner. The deceased have been identified as Nagaraju (25) and Basvaraju (24).

Upon receiving the information, a fire tender from Ramayampet rushed to the scene and extinguished the blaze. Police officials from Ramayampet and Narsingi have initiated an investigation into the incident, suspecting that the driver and cleaner were caught in the fire after losing consciousness.
