A lorry overturned near Valluru-Narsingi on National Highway 44 in Medak, Telangana, triggering a traffic jam that left vehicles queued for nearly two kilometres, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle. The disruption stranded motorists and caused inconvenience to commuters using the highway.
The overturned vehicle blocked or obstructed movement near the Valluru-Narsingi stretch, resulting in a significant buildup of traffic. Motorists were reported to have remained stranded on the highway as normal movement was affected.
Some commuters expressed anger over what they described as a delay by officials of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in clearing the lorry and restoring traffic flow. The report did not provide details on the exact time of the crash, whether anyone was injured, or the condition of the driver and other people involved.
NH-44 is a major north-south highway corridor passing through Telangana and connecting several important urban and regional centres. Disruptions on the route can quickly affect long-distance traffic as well as local motorists using the highway for daily travel.
The report did not specify whether traffic was being diverted, whether recovery equipment had reached the site, or how long the clearance operation was expected to take. Further details were awaited, including the cause of the overturning and the status of traffic movement near Valluru-Narsingi.
