Speeding Car Overturns After Hitting Divider And Two-Wheeler At JNTU Bridge
- Manopadu mandal accident leaves two in critical condition
A car accident occurred on the JNTU bridge in Hyderabad early Sunday morning, causing panic and disruption. At around 8:00 am, a car sped across Rythubazar, climbed onto the bridge, and lost control. It struck the divider, then hit a two-wheeler coming from the opposite direction before overturning. Officials from the police department reached the scene quickly and started rescue operations.
Reports confirm that five people were in the speeding car at the time of the accident. Two young men and three young women in the vehicle were all identified as Sudanese nationals. They managed to leave the overturned car after the crash. The young women booked a cab and vacated the site, while the young men stayed at the location. Police have said that they frequently warn people about the dangers of speeding, but these warnings often go unheeded, resulting in repeated road accidents and sometimes deaths.
The police are now investigating whether the vehicle was rented or lent by someone. The Sudanese youth involved in the crash are studying in Hyderabad and living in Shamshabad. Authorities have detained and are questioning them to understand the specifics. The report confirmed, “The car overturned and the condition of both is critical.” The statement highlights ongoing concerns regarding reckless driving and road safety in the city.
Meanwhile, Manopadu mandal in Jogulamba Gadwal district witnessed another car overturning incident near Salt Hotel on National Highway 44. The vehicle, traveling from Lakshmipuram in Kurnool district to Hyderabad, struck a divider on the road and then touched a tree before flipping over.

The highway team suggested the accident may have happened after hitting a divider and a tree. Complete details are still pending.
Both accidents remind citizens of the continued risks posed by excessive speed and loss of control on busy roads. Police and highway authorities are urging people to observe speed limits and prioritize safety to prevent further mishaps.
