CCTV footage has captured a dramatic and dangerous car accident in Hyderabad's Jubilee Hills, involving a speeding Ferrari that crashed into multiple vehicles, injuring five people. The incident occurred on Road No. 45 on Sunday morning when the luxury sports car, driven by Kranthi Reddy, a city-based businessman, lost control and collided with an electric pole before veering into the opposite lane. This led to a chain reaction of crashes involving several vehicles, including two cars and three two-wheelers. The accident caused panic among drivers and passersby, resulting in significant traffic congestion and damage to multiple vehicles.
Initial investigations suggest that Reddy, who was traveling with his wife to a wedding, may have been driving at high speeds when the Ferrari allegedly suffered a mechanical failure, possibly due to brake malfunction or steering issues. The crash left Reddy and his wife injured, along with three others in another car, all of whom were treated for minor injuries. The Jubilee Hills police have filed a case against Reddy under Section 281 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for rash and negligent driving, endangering human life. The investigation is ongoing, focusing on both the driver's actions and potential mechanical defects in the vehicle.
The accident highlights critical issues related to road safety, reckless driving, and the importance of maintaining proper vehicle mechanics. Such incidents not only endanger lives but also disrupt traffic and cause significant inconvenience for commuters. As global cities grapple with traffic safety challenges, cases like this underscore the need for stricter enforcement of road safety regulations and regular maintenance checks on vehicles, especially high-speed luxury cars. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of negligence behind the wheel and the importance of responsible driving practices to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
