How the accident happened
As per NDTV quoted SV Raja Sekhara Babu, Commissioner of Police, Vijayawada, “A BMW car was heading to Hyderabad. A concrete mixer tanker lost control near the Keesara Toll Plaza, causing it to fall onto the BMW. Advocate Rao had participated in the Bar Council elections earlier that day in Amaravati and was heading back. Tragically, Rao passed away in the accident.”
Early reports say the concrete tanker lost control, maybe because the brakes failed while turning near the toll plaza. At that time, the BMW was passing the toll gate, which led to the crash.
Big rescue work started
As per News 18 reports, police and toll staff quickly reached the spot and started rescue work. The tanker was very heavy, so special machines were needed to lift it.
Big machines like cranes and earthmovers were used to remove the truck. The body was later taken out with JCB machines and sent for post-mortem.
