One woman was killed and four others were injured after a speeding lorry rammed into a vehicle in the convoy of Telangana Rajyadhikara Party MLC Teenmar Mallanna in Yadadri-Bhongir district on Friday.

The accident occurred at around 10.45 a.m. at Anajipuram village in Mothkur mandal when the convoy was proceeding towards Tirumalagiri via the village. The lorry hit a Toyota Fortuner, that was part of the convoy, from the rear. Mallanna escaped unhurt as his vehicle was away from the spot of impact.

The Fortuner rammed into a hatchback, injuring 24-year-old Chandana, and her husband Medaboyina Srinath. Chandana succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment.

Two others, identified as Bunny and Ranganna, who were travelling in the MLC’s car, were also injured.

Both vehicles were severely damaged in the collision.

Mothkur police said the lorry driver, K. Srisailam, was arrested for allegedly causing grievous injuries through rash and negligent driving. A case was registered under Section 125(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
