Since it was dark in the night and heavy rain, the visibility wasn’t great. The contract workers had asked the help of watchman Nagesh of a neighbour house. Watchman Nagesh too joined them and came to help them by showing his torchlight. That’s when the car AP39CV 9999 – coming from Banjara Hills Road No 12 towards Jubilee Hills – crashed into them, grieviously injuring watchman Nagesh and contract worker Sudhakar. By that time, the workers realised what exactly happened, it already created the mishap.

The driver and his brother who came on this work had reportedly consumed alcohol at Himayathnagar. When they received a call asking them to sleep at Jubilee Hills, they returned from Himayathnagar and rammed the car into electric workers. The car rammed the electric pole.
