Minor Driving Rented Car Crashes into Two-Wheeler, One Dead in HyderabadPreviousNext

A 17-year-old minor allegedly drove a rented Maruti Baleno without a licence in Hyderabad's Karmika Nagar area, losing control and crashing into seven parked two-wheelers before hitting a motorcycle carrying two brothers. The 60-year-old pillion rider, Rajkumar, died from his injuries, while his 55-year-old brother, Prabhakar, was seriously injured and hospitalized. The car had been rented by a 19-year-old friend, and police have registered a case and taken the minor into custody. Investigations are ongoing.
