Hyderabad: A software engineer was killed when a speeding car driven by a “drunk” engineering student somersaulted and crashed into another car coming from opposite direction on Road No.3 at Banjara Hills on Friday. Seven others, including an eight-year-old girl, suffered injuries after the speeding car hit the divider, overturned and landed on the techie’s car.
The accident happened in front of the Punjagutta burial grounds. A group of six engineering students were in the speeding car at the time of the accident. The car was heading towards Punjagutta. The students were returning after watching a film at Banjara Hills.
Software engineer Rajesh, who was killed, was on his way back home at Madhapur along with his wife and 8-year-old daughter Ramya, according to Banjara Hills sub-inspector Ravinder.
The SI said the speeding i10 car was being driven at 120 kmph by Shraveel when it crashed into the divider in front of Chutney’s restaurant. It flew into the air and landed on Rajesh’s Santro. Rajesh hailed from Hanmakonda.
A police official said that the six occupants in i10 were identified as Shraveel, S Surya, Vishnu, Ashwin, Allen Joseph and Sai Ramesh.
“All six occupants in i10 car were under the influence of alcohol. Before we could reach the spot, passersby shifted Rajesh’s wife and daughter to NIMS Hospital for treatment. We conducted a breathe analyzer test on all the six occupants, but the blood alcohol content was less than 35 mg/100ml,” the SI added.
