Tragic Road Accident Claims Lives of Two Teens in Hyderabad

It was still dark, just after 5 a.m., when three friends from Moosapet set out on a modest scooter, hoping to catch a quick tea break before heading to the cricket ground near KPHB. The three – B. Mahesh, Laxmi Teja and their buddy B. Kiran – were all 17 and studying in intermediate classes.

All they wanted was a bit of fresh air and a few overs of cricket, but the day turned terribly sour. According to police, at a u‑turn a lorry travelling in the same direction veered sideways and struck the scooter broadside. The impact was so sudden that Mahesh and Teja were thrown onto the left side of the road, only to be run over by the lorry’s massive wheels.

Kiran, who was seated on the other side, fell to the right. He escaped with only minor cuts and bruises – a small mercy amid the horror. The lorry driver, meanwhile, fled the scene immediately, leaving the youngsters in a frightening, chaotic tableau.

First‑responders arrived quickly, shifting the bodies for post‑mortem examinations and securing the scene. The police have now registered a case, detained the lorry and are hunting down the driver who absconded.

Both Mahesh and Laxmi Teja have been identified as the victims. Their families, friends and classmates are reeling, struggling to make sense of a loss that feels far too sudden. You know, it’s the kind of tragedy that makes anyone pause and think about how fragile life really is on our roads.

The incident has reignited calls for stricter traffic enforcement and better awareness among young commuters, especially in bustling corridors like Moosapet‑KPHB. As the investigation continues, the community hopes for swift justice and, above all, a reminder that safety must never be taken for granted.
