Neurosurgeon's Volvo Explodes After Highway Crash
21 Sep
Summary
- Senior neurosurgeon died after his Volvo crashed and caught fire.
- CCTV footage shows the car swerving before impact and explosion.
- Sleep deprivation is suspected as a cause for the fatal crash.
A senior neurosurgeon, Dr. Kasakurthi Jagadeesh Babu, tragically lost his life early Sunday morning when his Volvo car crashed and exploded on the Hyderabad-Khammam national highway in Suryapet. The horrifying incident was captured by CCTV cameras, showing the vehicle swerving from its lane before violently striking a barrier and igniting.
The 50-year-old doctor was traveling towards Hyderabad when the accident occurred around 7:15 AM. Police are investigating the cause, with initial suspicions pointing towards Dr. Jagadeesh potentially dozing off due to sleep deprivation. However, investigators are also examining the possibility of a technical malfunction.
The impact was so severe that the car was engulfed in flames within moments, preventing any escape. The vehicle was reduced to a burnt-out shell by the time authorities arrived. Dr. Jagadeesh, who headed the neurosurgery department at a Khammam hospital for two decades, was identified after initial difficulties due to the extent of the charring.
A case has been registered under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. His body was sent for a postmortem examination before being handed over to his family.
