Hyderabad: Rs 5 lakh for flyover crash victim’s kin

Hyderabad: Mayor Bonthu Rammohan on Monday handed over Rs 5 lakh to the family of Pasala Naga Venkata Satyaveni, who died in a freak mishap at the Biodiversity flyover in Gachibowli on November 23. Satyaveni was standing on the footpath beside the flyover when a car flew off the newly-inaugurated structure and landed on a tree near her.

The tree fell on Satyaveni, killing her on the spot. She was house-hunting along with her daughter when the accident occurred. The car was driven by one K. Milan Krishna, 27, who was speeding on the flyover. The car was travelling at 104 kmph. He lost control of the vehicle, which hit the flyover wall and fell on the road.
