Hyderabad: In a tragic incident, a 28-year-old executive, working with a house-keeping firm, was killed and two others injured after a billboard collapsed and fell on them here on Sunday, police said.
The mishap took place when Prithvisena Reddy was travelling from Gachibowli Crossroads in Hitec City area on a motorcycle when the huge hoarding erected along the roadside suddenly collapsed on him and two other motorcyclists, police officer Srikanth, attached to Madhapur police station, said.
