A tragic road accident near Siddipet on Tuesday morning claimed the lives of a couple and left two others critically injured. The incident occurred when the car they were traveling in collided with a stationary lorry parked on the roadside. The deceased have been identified as Ravichandranath (49) and his wife Sunitha (45), residents of Siddipet.
Details of the Accident
The accident took place around 9 am on the Husnabad–Siddipet main road near the railway line at Mittapalli village in Siddipet district. The impact was so severe that the car became wedged underneath the rear of the lorry, trapping the occupants inside the mangled vehicle. Local residents and police worked for nearly half an hour to extricate the victims.
Victims and Injuries

Legal Action and Investigation
Based on a complaint lodged by Ankam Prakash, Archana’s father and a resident of Narapally in Hyderabad, a case has been registered. The complainant alleged that the lorry was parked on the roadside without adequate warning signs or safety measures. Police said the lorry driver, Ambati Srikanth, has been booked for negligence.
