HYDERABAD : A 20-year-old visually-challenged student was run over by a speeding lorry while he was crossing the road at Dilsukhnagar here on Monday. Four other students, also visually challenged, escaped with minor injuries. The five friends were walking, hand in hand, from the Dilsukhnagar bus depot towards Konark theatre around 7.15 a.m. when the killer lorry ploughed into them. The victim E. Srinivas was the most severely injured as the lorry directly hit him. His friends Santosh, N. Sudhir Kumar, Ganga Prasad and Ashok too fell on the road, but sustained minor injuries. After a passer-by called the 108 emergency service, Srinivas and Santosh, who sustained bleeding injuries on head, were rushed to the Osmania General Hospital while the other three were taken to a nearby private hospital. After battling for life for over seven hours, Srinivas succumbed to his injuries. The driver fled the spot abandoning the vehicle. A resident of Neredmet, Srinivas was living in the Government Home for the Blind at Mehdipatnam. He was studying first year B.A. in Vivekananda Degree College at Vidyanagar. On Sunday, he came to attend a function organised at the Government Home for Blind at Dilsukhnagar where four of his college students were staying. Since the programme went on till late in the night, he slept there for the night.
Always a danger
On Monday morning, he started off for the college along with his friends. They were supposed to catch the bus near Konark theatre. "Speeding trucks had always been a danger for the visually challenged. It is unfortunate that Srinivas has become the victim," the Dilsukhnagar Home warden V. Vijay Kumar said. Family members of Srinivas were by his side when he died.
