Six members of a family, including three children, tragically lost their lives on Friday when their car collided with a truck parked illegally on the Outer Ring Road near Thondapalli village in Shamshabad. The family was on their way back to Hyderabad after visiting the Yadagirigutta temple.

The truck driver stated he had stopped to adjust loose ropes on his load of rice bags, which were destined for Kurnool.
