Two JIMS docs on COVID awareness duty injured in mishap

Hyderabad: Two doctors of Jeeyar Integrative Medical Services (JIMS), who were on COVID awareness duty, escaped with minor injuries when their SUV crashed into a tree at Kothur on Hyderabad-Bangalore National Highway late on Tuesday night.

They were returning to the city after attending an awareness campaign. Sources said two doctors and their driver were returning to Shamshabad from Narayanpet when the mishap occurred. Since the visibility was poor due to heavy rains, the driver lost control while trying to overtake a truck and skidded off the road and crashed into a tree. Both doctors and the driver sustained minor injuries. Further investigation is underway.
