Three people were killed in a tragic road accident that happened on the Duddukuru National Highway in the Devarapalli mandal of Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday. Among the victims was a 19-month-old child.
A punctured tire on an Ertiga car that was traveling from Vijayawada to Rajahmundry caused it to veer off course and collide with another Ertiga car that was coming from the opposite direction.
Seven others suffered serious injuries, and two people died at the scene. The police arrived at the scene and took the injured to Devarapalli Hospital after receiving the information. Sadly, 19-month-old Ganiska passed away from wounds sustained during therapy, but the other patients are still receiving medical attention. The accident has prompted the police to open a case and begin an investigation.
