Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 14 : As many as 15 people died in rain-related incidents following heavy downpour in Hyderabad since Tuesday.
Of them, eight died after a boulder fell on a house, and three in a wall collapse.
Meanwhile, a shocking video of three cars involved in a pile-up on a waterlogged road in the New Bowenpally area surfaced on social media on Wednesday.
Visuals from the incident showed a vehicle swimming in the rainwater and colliding with two other cars that were mounted on top of each other.
