Engineering Student Killed in Hyderabad Road Accident Near Abdullapurmet

An engineering student was killed and two others were seriously injured in a road accident on the outskirts of Hyderabad on Tuesday, police said. The crash took place at Batasingaram on a service road near Abdullapurmet when two two-wheelers collided head-on, causing one rider to be run over by a passing lorry.

Investigation under way into Hyderabad road accident

According to police, three female students were riding on one of the motorcycles when the collision caused them to fall onto the carriageway. A lorry that was travelling alongside then ran over one of the students, identified as Hamsalekha, aged 22, killing her on the spot. She was a resident of Dilsukhnagar.

The other two students were grievously injured in the incident and were rushed to a nearby hospital. Medical staff said they were receiving immediate treatment and remained in a serious condition. Authorities have not released further details about their identities pending family notification.

Students were en route to sit an examination

Police reported that the group of students were on their way to sit an examination when the collision occurred. Officers who attended the scene described a chaotic aftermath as bystanders and first responders tried to tend to the injured while traffic was diverted from the service road.

Local traffic officials said that the narrow service road and limited visibility at the time may have contributed to the crash, though investigators cautioned that preliminary observations must be confirmed by a full inquiry. The lorry driver remained at the scene and is assisting police with their enquiries.

Authorities register case and examine road safety factors

A case has been registered and the Abdullapurmet police are conducting a detailed probe. Officers will examine the vehicles for mechanical faults, check for any signs of negligent driving and review whether traffic regulations were observed. Statements are being taken from witnesses and those involved.

The tragedy has prompted calls from local residents for improved road safety measures around Batasingaram and on service roads linking to the main thoroughfares. Road safety campaigners said better signage, separate lanes for two-wheelers and stricter enforcement of helmet laws could reduce the risk of similar incidents.

As the investigation continues, health officials and campus authorities are coordinating with the families of the students. Counselling services have been offered to classmates and staff affected by the loss and the injuries.

Further updates will be provided as police conclude their inquiries and hospitals release more information on the condition of the injured students.
