AP: Newlywed couple among 5 killed in accident

Nandyal: A devastating accident in Andhra Pradesh’s Nandyal district resulted in the loss of five lives, including that of a newlywed couple, on Wednesday. The unfortunate incident occurred when the car they were traveling in collided with a parked truck on the national highway near Nallagatla in Allagadda mandal.

According to police reports, the accident happened at around 5:15 a.m. when the driver failed to notice the truck parked by the roadside, leading to the fatal collision. All five occupants of the car, members of a family from Hyderabad, tragically lost their lives on the spot. They were returning home from Tirupati after seeking blessings at the Tirumala temple.

Among the victims were Balakiran and Kavya, who had recently exchanged vows just a week prior to the accident. The newlywed couple’s dreams were cut short in the tragic crash. Also among the deceased were Balakiran’s mother, Manthri Laxmi, his father, Manthri Ravinder, and his younger brother, Uday.

The grieving family, originally from West Venkatapur in Secunderabad, had celebrated Balakiran and Kavya’s marriage on February 29, followed by a reception in Shameerpet on March 3. The sudden loss of their lives has left their loved ones and community in shock and mourning.
