Three-Car Pile-Up on Hyderabad’s PVNR Expressway Injures Drivers, Snarls Traffic

Police say overspeeding on the two-lane elevated corridor is fueling repeated crashes.

Overview

  • Rajendranagar traffic police reported a three-car collision near pillar 253 after a high-speed car hit the road divider and was struck by vehicles from both directions.
  • Drivers sustained injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital, where their condition was described as stable.
  • Traffic slowed across the stretch from Upparpally to Aramgarh before police moved the damaged vehicles to an emergency parking area and restored flow.
  • Officials noted the incident followed other crashes on the expressway this week, including a divider strike near pillar 123 and a three-car crash near pillar 112 after a breakdown in a no-parking zone.
  • Police highlighted the expressway’s limited carriageway width and frequent speeding as persistent safety risks, and said formal complaints and identifications were still pending.
