Hyderabad: Three members of a family were killed, while a fourth is battling for life after a lorry rammed into their bike near Medchal check post at 3.30 pm on Sunday.
According to Medchal station house officer A. Satyanarayana, the deceased have been identified as Bullabbai, 37, Lavanya, 30, and a seven-year-old girl. The couple's four-year-old son is in critical condition in a private hospital.
A native of Kakinada, Bullabbai worked as a street-side breakfast vendor. On Sunday morning, Lavanya and her husband were travelling to meet her friend, who resides in Yellampet. While they were near the Medchal checkpost, when the bike was moving towards the left, a Nagaland-registered container truck suddenly swerved left and ran over the two-wheeler.
Bullabbai, Lavanya and their daughter died on the spot.
Medchal police, who were informed through a dial 100 call, rushed to the spot and shifted the boy to a hospital. His condition remains critical.
Police said they are going through CCTV footage at the location, and conducting further investigation. Meanwhile, bodies of the three deceased were shifted to the Gandhi Hospital mortuary for postmortem.
