A high-speed collision involving a luxury Ferrari Roma worth over Rs 3.50 crore occurred in Hyderabad’s Jubilee Hills area during the early hours of Sunday. The incident took place on Road Number 5 under the jurisdiction of Film Nagar Police Station. The speeding vehicle rammed into the main gate of Fort View Apartments, causing extensive damage to both the property and the luxury car. Officials confirmed that no casualties were reported in the accident.
The occupants of the heavily damaged vehicle fled the scene before police could arrive. The front portion of the Ferrari was severely mangled in the collision, while the apartment gate was completely destroyed. Police suspect that the driver was operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol and at excessive speed in a rash manner. Authorities have registered a case and initiated an investigation to identify and locate the driver who abandoned the vehicle.
Law enforcement officials are currently examining CCTV footage from the area to determine the identity of the driver and ascertain whether there were additional passengers in the vehicle at the time of the crash. The damaged luxury car has been shifted to the police station using a towing vehicle. Investigators are working to trace the owner and operator of the Ferrari Roma through vehicle registration records.
This marks the second such incident in Jubilee Hills within a span of less than a week. On the night of July 9, an SUV crashed into the residence of Tollywood actor Dharma on Road Number 10. The compound wall of the actor’s house sustained damage in that collision, though fortunately no injuries were reported in that incident either.
In the earlier incident, police identified the accused as Karthik Kumar, who was driving the SUV in a rash and negligent manner before losing control. The actor promptly alerted authorities, who rushed to the scene and arrested the accused. A breathalyser test conducted at the site confirmed that Karthik Kumar was under the influence of alcohol while operating the vehicle. Police registered a criminal case against him and launched further investigation into the matter.
The recent spate of accidents involving luxury and high-end vehicles in the upscale Jubilee Hills neighborhood has raised concerns about road safety and drunk driving in the area. Police are continuing their investigation into the latest Ferrari crash and are working to apprehend the absconding driver. The Film Nagar Police Station has intensified efforts to identify the suspect through available evidence and witness statements.
