In a major and gory road accident, eight persons, including three children were killed when a lorry laden with glass scrap overturned and fell into a roadside ditch at Ulindakonda, 25 km from Kurnool town. Nearly 15 passengers who boarded the truck at Dhone were seated on top of the load. Eight persons were buried alive under the glass scrap, while four escaped with minor injuries as they were thrown aside even as the truck was overturning. All the 15 belonged to “Budaga Jangam” community, who eke out a living by hawking plastic pitchers in villages. Eight more including two women perished and four grievously injured in another ghastly road accident on National Highway 7 in Toopran mandal of Medak district.
