A speeding Qualis, being driven by a person in a drunken condition, crushed to death a three-year-old girl playing outside her house in Shatamrai of Shamshabad on Saturday.
The victim, Shashi, was playing with two other kids on the road when a four-sheeler driven by Chander Naik ran over her. “He was heavily drunk and tried to flee abandoning the vehicle there,” the police said. Angry residents of the area chased and caught the driver and handed him over to the police after thrashing him. In another accident on the Outer Ring Road, Jagadish, 18, died when the vehicle he was travelling in rammed a truck at Pedda Golconda in Pahadisharieff on Saturday. Two others travelling in the vehicle sustained critical wounds.
