Hyderabad: Two innocent persons lost their lives in a road accident on Friday due to the negligence of a seven-seater auto driver.
The accident happened when M Saidi Reddy (32), belonging to Cheriyal village in Siddipet, was dropping his sister-in-law Kanaka Mahalakshmi at Aurobindo Pharma where she works. She resides at Jyothinagar in Bollaram.
According to police, a Tata Ace passenger auto driver stopped his vehicle on the left side of the road at IDA Bollaram municipal office in Patancheru mandal of Sangareddy district.
He opened the door of his cabin without minding the steady traffic on his side. The door hit the bike of Saidi Reddy. Both the persons on the bike fell on the road and came under the wheels of a lorry which was coming from their right side.
Saidi Reddy died on the spot while his sister-in-law suffered serious injuries. Police and locals shifted both the victims to the Patancheru regional hospital for emergency treatment.
When Mahalakshmi's condition turned critical, doctors advised to shift her to a nearby private hospital for better treatment. But she died while shifting to the private hospital.
After the incident the auto driver vanished from the spot. Police are verifying the CCTV footage and vehicle registration to identify the driver.
