AP: One killed, eight injured in multi-vehicle collision in Srikakulam
One person was killed and eight others were injured in a multi-vehicle collision on the Singupuram highway in Srikakulam district early Saturday morning.
Private bus collided with a lorry
The accident occurred when a private bus operated by Kambheswari Travels, travelling from Koraput in Odisha to Berhampur, collided with a lorry moving ahead of it.
Three of the eight injured passengers are currently receiving treatment
According to Srikakulam Rural Station Inspector Jayaram, “The bus collided with a lorry moving ahead of it. Due to the impact, eight people, including the bus driver, sustained injuries. Fortunately, all injuries were minor. Three of the eight injured passengers are currently receiving treatment in Srikakulam.”
Following the initial crash, a granite-laden lorry approaching from behind applied sudden brakes upon witnessing the accident. This caused the granite stones to shift forward, severely damaging the lorry. Tragically, the lorry driver lost his life in the crash, officials said in a statement.
