Another doctor Amar Goud (55) was critically injured and shifted to a hospital in Bellary. His condition was stated to be critical. The doctors landed at Bengaluru airport at 1.30 a.m. and were returning to Bellary after a vacation trip to Hong Kong.

The deceased included a jeweller G. Kaushik (27), who was heading to Visakhapatnam Airport to receive his uncle who was coming from the United States. Kaushik was accompanied by a friend V. Abhinav (27) and the latter’s wife Manimala (24), who were going to Visakhapatnam to write an exam. The trio along with car driver M. Jayesh (20) were killed in the collision.
In the third accident, three persons were killed when a car in which they were travelling collided with a minivan after a tyre burst on Kankipadu flyover in Krishna district.
According to police, the car driver lost control of the vehicle after one of its tyres burst. The car rammed the divider and hit a minivan coming from the opposite direction.
All three occupants of the car were killed while the van driver was critically injured.
The deceased were identified as Yesu Prabhu (29), Chinta Ravi (38) and Chili Bhanu (27), all residents of Machilipatnam. They were returning home after attending some personal work in Vijayawada.
Bhanu’s family suffered a double tragedy as her mother died of shock after hearing the news of his death. Sudha Rani (55) collapsed at her residence in Machilipatnam when she learnt about the death of her son. She was rushed to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead by doctors on arrival.
