A speeding electric car went out of control in Hyderabad’s Kukatpally on Wednesday (May 20, 2026) afternoon damaging several vehicles.

The video of the incident, which was captured on CCTV cameras, has been making rounds on social media platforms. According to the police, the car was travelling from Vivekananda Nagar towards Allwyn Colony when the driver lost control of the vehicle.
