They were heading towards Jubilee Hills check-post and taking a turn at Odyssey when a Honda Accord car being rashly driven by Anirudh, an engineering student, came from the opposite direction on the other side of the median.

“Anirudh was apparently over-speeding and lost control. He rammed the divider at the turning,” the police said. The car got hurled into the air due to the impact of the collision and fell on the Indica on the other side.

Ms. Gurna and Mr. Jayaraj, who were sitting on the rear seat got crushed under the Honda Accord and died on the spot. Nagarjuna suffered serious wounds on his head and was admitted to Gandhi Hospital. Doctors said his condition was critical. Anjaneyulu escaped with minor injuries.
