Up to 10 other occupants of the car suffered multiple injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment. The car overturned on the Ghat road in the agency area due to overcrowding of passengers. Many people traveling this route are forced to travel in overcrowded public transport vehicles – buses and cars are not readily available. In addition, due to the many turns and the poor condition of the road, accidents often occur here. Police have sent the bodies to Palakonda Area Hospital for post-mortem.
