The car was crushed so badly that police had trouble getting the bodies out. It had hit a truck from behind at about 4 a.m. on Friday, July 18, 2025, on Hyderabad’s Outer Ring Road at Adibatla, in Rangareddy district. Five men died.
The car was heading from Pedda Amberpet toward Bongulur. Near pillar no. 108, close to the Bongulur exit, the driver lost control and ran into the truck ahead. Police said the truck was stationary, and that heavy rain had cut visibility. The truck driver fled.
Telangana Today named the dead as G Janardhan, 45, of Mahabubabad; M Chandu Lal, 29, of Warangal; K Balaraju, 40, of Moinabad; D Bhaskar Rao, 39, of Srikakulam in Andhra Pradesh; and J Krishna, 25, the car driver, from Vizianagaram in Andhra Pradesh. IANS gave some of the ages differently, putting Janardhan at 50 and Krishna at 42, and said the men worked at a resort.
Three died on the spot: Janardhan, Chandu Lal and Balaraju. Bhaskar Rao, gravely hurt, was declared dead at hospital. Krishna died while being treated at a private hospital in BN Reddy Nagar. IANS first reported four deaths with a fifth person in critical condition.
Police from Adibatla and Ibrahimpatnam reached the scene and pulled the bodies from the wreck “with great difficulty.” Adibatla police are investigating. They have seized the truck and are trying to trace its driver.
