Watch: Bizzare Accident In Hyderabad As Auto Hits Pedestrian In The Chest, Kills Him

Hyderabad: In a freak accident, a man was killed after an auto-rickshaw flung in the air and hit him in Hyderabad’s Old City area on Sunday.

The incident occurred in Shamshergunj when 48-year-old Jangaiah, a daily wage labourer, was crossing the road.  He was crossing the road when the road was reasonably free. Suddenly, a passing auto’s front wheel came off the vehicle and hit Jangaiah, who died on spot.

The front wheel of the speeding three-wheeler lifted in the air and hit the pedestrian in the chest. The wheel got detached, and the man was crushed under the vehicle and sustained grievous injuries.

However, the man succumbed to his injuries even before people could realise what was happening. The accident was caught on a CCTV camera installed in the area.
