A six-vehicle pile-up on Hyderabad’s PVNR Expressway after an electric car crashed into a central divider disrupted traffic towards Aramghar on Thursday night, October 15, 2026. Several motorists were stranded in the resulting congestion, while occupants of the first vehicle reportedly suffered minor injuries. No fatalities were reported.
The collision occurred at about 10 p.m. when the driver of an electric car lost control and rammed into a pole on the central divider. Around five other cars subsequently collided, creating a pile-up on the busy elevated expressway.
The Hindu reported that the first vehicle’s occupants sustained minor injuries. The circumstances that caused the driver to lose control had not been established in the available information. Further details about the incident were awaited.
Hyderabad Traffic Police issued an alert after the accident and said its mobile staff had reached the location to clear the damaged vehicles. In its post on X, the traffic police referred to an accident near Pillar No. 131 on the PVNR Expressway towards Aramghar and asked commuters to proceed with caution and follow the instructions of traffic personnel.
The reported collision also affected traffic near Pillar Nos. 135 and 140, according to the details available in the report. The damaged vehicles obstructed the carriageway, slowing movement along the expressway and causing a traffic jam.
The PVNR Expressway is a key road link for traffic travelling between Hyderabad’s airport corridor and the city. A multi-vehicle crash on the elevated route can quickly restrict movement because vehicles have limited room to manoeuvre around an obstruction, although the available report did not provide an assessment of the wider traffic impact or the duration of the disruption.
Traffic personnel were deployed to regulate vehicles and facilitate the removal of the cars involved in the collision. Commuters were advised to remain cautious while passing through the affected stretch and comply with directions issued at the scene. No further official information on arrests, charges, vehicle damage or the completion of the clearance operation was available in the report.
