One of the injured women is Ranjana Roy, 32, who suffered critical injuries in the accident. The other woman suffered serious injuries. Both women were rushed to Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) where they are now being treated.
Driving safety and speeding are among the issues of concern in the busy Banjara Hills area, according to police.
Two Women Rushed to NIMS After Banjara Hills Crash
The accident took place on Road No. 14 in Banjara Hills, one of the busiest areas in Hyderabad. Initial reports indicate a young man and woman were in the Volkswagen when it collided with the two women.
The vehicle was moving at high speed before the crash. Both women were seriously injured, and Ranjana Roy was critically injured.
Emergency personnel responded and took the victims to NIMS for further treatment. Their injuries are serious, but details on the nature of the injuries have not yet been revealed.
Doctors are monitoring both women at present. Ranjana Roy’s condition is critical, and her recovery will be essential in the next few hours. There is no information yet on the second victim’s condition.
The accident also highlighted the threat to pedestrians and other road users on busy city streets. At night, Banjara Hills is also very busy, with so much traffic, and accidents involving vehicles going too fast are very severe.

Police to examine CCTV Footage And Alcohol Allegations
Some people who were travelling in the Volkswagen could have been drinking alcohol at the time of the accident, but this is still an allegation and has not been publicly confirmed so far.
Alcohol testing will be conducted as part of the investigation to determine whether drinking was a factor in the crash. The results of such tests, along with other evidence, may help to determine the cause of the collision.
Police will also be able to examine CCTV from the area. Cameras could help them determine the speed and movement of the vehicle just before the accident and how the two women were struck.
Witness statements will also be part of the investigation. People in the vicinity at the time of the collision might have been able to provide information on the vehicle’s movement, the condition of the road, and what happened immediately before and after the crash.
The investigators will also need to determine who was driving the Volkswagen at the time of the accident. Details about the driver and the other occupant have not been confirmed so far, according to the information gathered so far.
Police have yet to determine the true reason for the crash. Nor is it yet clear whether any legal action has been taken against the driver.
The incident occurred as Hyderabad road accidents are still a focus; speeding can cause serious collisions. When combined with suspected alcohol consumption, high-speed driving can escalate the danger to pedestrians and other drivers. In this case, the suspicion of alcohol use will need to be established through the investigation and not assumed.
For now, the priority is the medical treatment of the two injured women. Ranjana Roy is still in critical condition, and the second victim is also in NIMS.
More information will be available once police have looked at CCTV footage, recorded witness statements, and carried out any necessary tests. But until then, the exact sequence of events and responsibility for the collision is still being investigated.
