At least six cars were damaged in a chain collision on Hyderabad’s PVNR Expressway near pillar No. 131 towards Aramghar around 11 pm on Thursday, causing a major traffic jam before police cleared the vehicles and restored traffic flow.
According to information reported by Telangana Today, the collision began when a car went out of control and struck the road divider and a pillar. Five cars travelling behind it then collided with one another, leaving all six vehicles extensively damaged.
No casualties were reported in the incident. The available report did not provide details on injuries, the identities of the drivers or the condition of the vehicles involved beyond the damage caused in the crash.
The accident occurred on the stretch of the PVNR Expressway leading towards Aramghar. The expressway is an important road link for traffic moving between Hyderabad and the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport area, making disruptions on the elevated route capable of affecting traffic over a wider corridor.
The chain collision blocked or slowed traffic on the expressway, resulting in a major traffic jam. Police intervened to remove the damaged vehicles from the carriageway and restore movement for other motorists.
The report did not state whether a case had been registered, whether any driver had been detained or what caused the first car to lose control. It also did not specify the duration of the traffic disruption or whether road conditions, visibility or speeding were factors in the collision.
Traffic movement was restored after the damaged cars were cleared from the site. Further details on the police investigation or any action arising from the incident were not available in the supplied report.
