Toyota Innova tyre burst kills JNTU VC near Anantpur on NH44 on 2017-02-22



A ghastly accident claimed the lives of the Vice Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru Technical University Prof M M M Sarcar, his personal assistant and his driver on 2017-02-22. The accident took place in Pamidi Mandal, about 30 kms from Anantapur on NH-44 (erstwhile, NH7) .

The trio were travelling in a Toyota Innova when one of the front tyres of the car burst. The car was reportedly travelling at over 100 kmph at the time of crash. After the tyre burst, the driver lost control of the car which jumped over the median divider onto the other side of the road where it crashed into a truck that was coming in the opposite direction.

Everything ahead of the B-pillar of the Toyota Innova was crushed. The impact was so severe that all three died almost instantly and a crane had to be called to extract the bodies.
