Hyderabad ORR Tragedy: Six Family Members Killed in High-Speed Collision Near Shamshabad

A tragic accident unfolded on the Outer Ring Road near Shamshabad on Friday when a vehicle struck a stationary lorry close to Exit-16, resulting in six fatalities.

The collision occurred with considerable force, causing the car to become wedged beneath the heavy vehicle. Emergency response teams arrived quickly and initiated rescue operations, though they encountered significant challenges in extracting occupants from the severely damaged automobile.

Among the six who perished were two children. A seventh person sustained severe injuries and was transported to hospital for medical care. All victims belonged to a family from Sircilla who were traveling back to Hyderabad following a visit to Yadagirigutta Temple.
