A trailer lorry went out of control and rammed into the divider near the Kukatpally Metro Rail station, causing a huge traffic jam during the morning rush hour on the arterial road leading to the IT zone, on Tuesday.
The accident occurred when a vehicle suddenly came in from the left in front of the lorry, causing the lorry driver to
swerve and hit the divider. The lorry driver fled the spot after the accident which took place at about 8 pm. Police were still on his trail, said Kukatpally inspector Krishna Mohan.
Police later removed the lorry from the road and restored normal traffic flow on the Moosapet-Kukatpally road.
