Speeding SUV kills woman and injures two at bus stop in Telangana, India.
NEWS:
A speeding Scorpio SUV struck three people who were waiting beside a road for a bus in Rajanna Sircilla district, Telangana, on May 13, 2026, killing a 35-year-old woman and injuring another woman and a child.
The collision happened at Gajasingavaram Stage in Gambhiraopet mandal. The victims had gathered near the roadside to stop an RTC bus when the SUV left its path and drove directly into them.
Gajasingavaram is an officially listed gram panchayat within Gambhiraopet mandal. The RTC bus referenced in local reporting is a state road transport bus serving the area.
CCTV footage records the impact. The video shows the three people standing together near the edge of the road as traffic passes. The SUV enters the frame at high speed, veers toward the roadside and hits the group. The force of the collision throws the victims away from where they had been standing. At least one person is carried forward by the vehicle before it moves beyond the camera’s main view.
The victims are not shown crossing the road or stepping into the SUV’s path. They remain beside the roadway until the vehicle reaches them. The recording also does not show a collision between the SUV and a bus before the impact.
The footage confirms that the SUV hit the waiting pedestrians. It does not establish why the driver lost control, whether a mechanical failure occurred or whether another road user contributed to the sequence before the vehicle entered the camera’s view.
The woman who died was identified as Lakshmi, 35. She suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The two injured victims were identified as Rajitha and her son, Yashwanth.
People near the crash site responded after the impact and took Rajitha and Yashwanth to a nearby hospital. Lakshmi’s body was moved to the mortuary at Sircilla Government Hospital for a postmortem examination.
Accounts published after the crash gave different descriptions of the injured victims’ medical condition. The initial local report said doctors considered both patients stable. Coverage published the following day described their injuries as serious and said they remained hospitalized. No later public medical update confirming their eventual condition was located.
Police registered a case after reaching the scene. Information attributed to investigators said officers reviewed the CCTV footage, questioned witnesses and began checking the SUV and its driver to determine how the vehicle left the road.
The status of the driver was also reported differently. The initial report published on the night of May 13 said police had taken the driver into custody. A later account on May 14 said officers were still verifying the vehicle and driver details and did not confirm an arrest. No publicly accessible first-party police statement, arrest record or court document was found to resolve that discrepancy.
One later report said the SUV lost control while attempting to overtake a bus. That detail was not stated in the initial account and was not independently confirmed by an official document. The available CCTV clip shows the impact area but does not provide a complete view of the SUV’s movements before it approaches the victims, so the alleged overtaking maneuver cannot be established from the visible footage alone.
The exact speed of the SUV was not released. Reports described it as traveling at high speed, and the video shows the vehicle entering the collision area rapidly, but no verified speed measurement was published.
The crash occurred near Raja Rajeshwar Rao Colony at the Gajasingaram bus stop area, also referred to as Gajasingavaram Stage. Both spellings have appeared in coverage and local administrative references.
The vehicle involved was described as a Scorpio SUV. The video shows it continuing across the roadside area after striking the victims. It does not clearly show the driver’s actions inside the vehicle or establish whether braking occurred before impact.
The initial report said nearby residents were the first to assist the injured. Later coverage also said the victims were taken for treatment before police completed their initial response at the scene.
No verified evidence was found showing that the driver intentionally targeted the victims. The incident has therefore been treated as a fatal road crash, with speeding and negligent driving cited as possible factors under examination rather than proven conclusions.
As of the latest publicly available coverage located for this review, Lakshmi remained the only confirmed fatality. Rajitha and Yashwanth were the two confirmed injured victims. No subsequent report confirming additional deaths, formal charges, bail proceedings or the final outcome of the police investigation was found.
