Couple dies in road accident

Gajwel: In a horrible road accident, a couple died on the spot after the car they were travelling, rammed into a stationary lorry on State Highway 1 near bus depot at Pregnapur village under Gajwel police station limits on Thursday evening. The deceased were identified as Bala Gangadhar, working as personal assistant to TRS MLA of Nizamabad (Rural) Bajireddy Govardhan Reddy, and his wife Vijaya. 

The death was instantaneous for the couple who were on their way to Siddipet from Hyderabad as the red-coloured hatchback bearing registration number AP25 P 5859 rammed into the stalled truck. In the rear-end collision, the bodies were deeply stuck in the wreckage of the car and the police had to try hard to extricate them from the vehicle with the help of crane. 

The accident took place when the lorry was reportedly stalled haphazardly on the road as it was raining leading to the collision, said the sources. Police registered a case under Sec 304 (A) involving the truck and the bodies were sent to the government area hospital at Gajwel for autopsy.
