Hyderabad: A serious accident occurred near Hastinapuram, located in the Vanasthalipuram police station area of Hyderabad. Here, a drunk driver hit two engineering students’ bike with his speeding car, killing both on the spot.
Kancharla Shiva (19) and Sandeep Joel (19), second-year ECE students of Mahavir Engineering College, were riding their bike when a speeding Honda City car coming from behind hit them. In this accident, a pedestrian also got caught by the car.
The impact was so severe that the car lost control, overturned multiple times, and finally came to a halt upside down. Both B.Tech students died on the spot in the accident, while the injured pedestrian Sridhar (23) has been admitted to a private hospital for treatment.
Every day, hundreds of people lose their lives in road accidents across the country. The biggest reason for this is people not following traffic rules. Despite awareness campaigns, people drive by breaking rules, which puts their own lives as well as others’ lives at risk.
Strict action against rule-breakers is necessary. The death of two B.Tech students in this recent accident has created an atmosphere of grief in their families and college. One person’s negligence caused pain to two families, and the college also lost two of its promising students. A legal investigation into the incident is ongoing.
