Hyderabad: A 26-year-old woman was killed and two others injured after an autorickshaw carrying scrap material rammed into a stationary lorry near Sangam Hotel in Hayathnagar in the early hours of Monday.

According to the police, the victim was identified as Yadavalli Padma. She was travelling in the autorickshaw along with Revelli Durgamma from Bhagya towards Pedda Amberpet when the accident occurred.
