The Cyberabad Commissionerate has filed a case against Krishna Milan Rao Kalvakuntla for over speeding and killing a woman in the horrific accident that took place at the biodiversity flyover on Saturday. The car, which was allegedly driven at a speed of 104 kmph, lost control and rammed the divider and hurtled down almost 60 feet down onto the road. The vehicle hit three people who were waiting at an auto stand, killing a woman named Satyaveni, who was with her daughter, and injuring two other persons.
According to reports, the Raidurgam police under the Cyberabad Commissionerate have filed a case against Krishna Milan under the charges of causing death due to negligent driving and the traffic cops have also issued a challan for over speeding on the flyover (the permissible speed on the flyover is 40 kmph).
The police are now probing whether the driver had a valid license and if he was in an inebriated condition. Though the initial probe found it wasn’t a case of drunk driving, blood samples of the driver has been collected for further investigation.
Krishna Milan is currently being treated at a private hospital in the city. According to a health bulletin released on Saturday night, he has scalpel laceration (blunt injury on the head), multiple abrasions and right clavicular fracture (bone between shoulder and breastbone). The police is yet to record his statement.
