Six-car pile-up leads to traffic jam on Hyderabad’s PVNR Expressway

A speeding EV car that lost control and crashed into a divider triggered a multiple-vehicle collision involving around six cars on the PVNR Expressway in Hyderabad on Thursday (October 15, 2026) night, leaving several motorists stranded in a traffic jam.

The accident occurred around 10 p.m. near Pillar No. 135 when the driver of an electric car reportedly lost control of the vehicle and rammed into a pole on the central divider. Around five other cars subsequently collided, resulting in a pile-up on the busy expressway.

The occupants of the first car reportedly sustained minor injuries. No fatalities were reported.

The collision disrupted vehicular movement along the expressway, with traffic slowing considerably as the damaged vehicles obstructed the carriageway. The Hyderabad Traffic Police issued alerts about the accident near Pillar Nos. 131 and 140 on the stretch towards Aramghar and deployed personnel to regulate traffic and facilitate the removal of the vehicles.
