Iron beam from under-construction flyover falls on car in Hyderabad

A man had a lucky escape on Tuesday after an iron beam from an under-construction flyover at Kondapur fell on his car, narrowly missing him.

The front portion of the vehicle was damaged and the driver, who was the only person in the car, escaped unhurt.  The glass windows and the side mirror of the vehicle, which was on its way from Kondapur to Miyapur, were broken in the impact of the huge



beam falling on top of the moving car.

Other commuters and passersby at the spot alleged the works were being executed without proper precautionary measures. The driver of the car was seen in a video saying that if the beam had fallen on a pedestrian or on a bike, it would have been a major tragedy.

The police said they did not receive a complaint about the accident.
