Hyderabad Drunk Driving Accident

Two doctors in Hyderabad's Madhapur have been charged with "causing hurt by rash and negligent acts" after the car they were in seriously injured four people near a shopping mall as they were trying to cross the road.

Four people, including a couple, died in road accidents in Hyderabad on Monday when they were hit by four-wheelers being driven by drunk drivers, the police said today. Four people were also injured in the three separate accidents.

A 22-year-old man, who allegedly instigated his friend to drive a car in a drunken state which also killed him, was arrested on the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, the police said today.

Yet another case of drunk driving has resulted in a horrific accident in Hyderabad just three months after a similar incident claimed the life of 8-year-old Ramya.

Concerned over increasing number of accidents involving drunk drivers, police in Hyderabad and Cyberabad commissionerates are mulling to introduce "designated driver" concept.

Another tragedy struck the family of 10-year-old Ramya, who became a victim of drunk driving in Hyderabad earlier this month, after her grandfather who was in the horrific car crash that occurred in Banjara Hills on July 1 died this morning.

Over 100 people, of all ages and from all walks of life, had assembled at a function hall next to the police station in posh Banjara Hills on Tuesday. Caught driving drunk during the day, they had been asked to take a 3-day counselling session, where they are to be sensitized about the consequences of their actions.

A 10-year-old Hyderabad girl who was on ventilator for over a week after she met with an accident has died in hospital. The car she was travelling in - along with her family - was hit by a speeding car allegedly driven by a drunk student.

At least six persons including three women and a two-year-old child were killed and four others injured after a speeding lorry hit their vehicles in two separate incidents in Prakasam district in Andhra Pradesh, the police said.

In keeping with the changing times, the Hyderabad Traffic Police has come up with a novel idea called Gandhian Policing to drill into the young minds the dangers of drunken and reckless driving. But it doesn't involve policemen at all. It's rather a family affair. What better way to prevent accidents than appeal to the age-old bond between a father...
