Responding to a letter written by a citizen who lost his daughter after ramming his motorcycle into a lorry parked illegally on national highway in Kamareddy, Telangana High Court on Wednesday issued notices to the Central and the State governments taking up the letter suo moto as PIL petition.
A mason, D. Nagaraju of Nizamabad town, was riding his bike with his wife Rekha and nine-year-old daughter Vaibhavi sitting pillion when the accident occurred on September 19. The family was heading to Kamareddy on some personal work. The motorcycle crashed into a lorry illegally parked on the highway resulting in fractures on legs to the couple while their daughter died of head injury.
Mr. Nagaraju stated in his letter that illegal parking of heavy vehicles was resulting in fatal road accidents. Family members of the road accident victims were being left in the lurch, he stated. The mason cited another road crash reported on Rajeev Rahadari recently. Three engineering students lost their lives after the four-wheeler they were travelling in hit a heavy vehicle parked illegally on the Hyderabad-Karimnagar road.
