The Story in Brief
Two migrant workers from Rajasthan were killed when their car crashed into a bridge pillar on the Outer Ring Road service road in Hyderabad early Saturday. The accident occurred around 12.25 am near Gachibowli, police said. Kanaiyalal, 25, and Deram, 24, both tile workers, died on the spot. Police said the driver lost control due to overspeeding. Siasat.com reports a case was registered under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. No other vehicle was involved. Investigation is ongoing.
The Indian Opinion
The police's quick attribution of the crash to 'overspeeding' is a familiar refrain that often lets road infrastructure off the hook. While the driver may have been reckless, questions about lighting, signage, and the need for speed-calming measures on the ORR service road deserve equal scrutiny. The real test will be whether the traffic department releases a safety audit of this exact stretch.
