Traffic cop killed in Hayathnagar after crashing into truck

Hyderabad: A traffic police constable lost his life in a road accident at Hayathnagar on Friday.  The victim, Maan Singh, was on duty and travelling on his motorcycle from Hayathnagar toward Yadadri-Bhongir when the incident occurred.

According to police, a truck moving in the same direction allegedly applied sudden brakes, leading Maan Singh, who was riding directly behind, to crash into the rear of the vehicle.

He sustained severe head and chest injuries and died on the spot. Passersby tried to assist and alerted authorities. His body was later shifted for autopsy. Hayathnagar police have registered a case of negligence causing death and are investigating the truck driver’s role.

In a separate incident on Wednesday night, two individuals were seriously injured when a speeding car hit a road divider near the CRPF campus on Barkas Road in the Old City. Eyewitnesses reported the vehicle was travelling at high speed before the driver lost control.

Locals rescued the injured occupants and rushed them to a hospital. Police later cleared the wreckage with a JCB, and traffic movement resumed.

Also on Wednesday night, a 25-year-old man died in a crash on Suraram Road. Police said the victim’s bike skidded, causing him to fall and sustain fatal injuries. Efforts are underway to identify the deceased.

On June 7, a fatal accident claimed the lives of two IT employees and left two others critically injured on the Madharam–Edulabad road under Ghatkesar police limits. The victims, returning from a party, were in a car that lost control and struck an electric pole.
