A car crashed into a road median near the City Center shopping mall at Banjara Hills early Monday morning. Fortunately, no one was injured in the accident.
The vehicle, a Mercedes Benz, was being driven by a woman who reportedly lost control while attempting to make a turn. It is suspected that the driver was under the influence of alcohol at the time.
The car collided with the median, but the deployment of airbags helped prevent serious injuries. The impact was so severe that the front of the car broke through the median wall, leaving it partially suspended in the air.
Several other drivers stopped to assist the woman after the accident. Witnesses observed that she appeared to be intoxicated.
Banjara Hills police arrived at the scene shortly after the crash. With the help of traffic personnel, they used a crane to safely remove the vehicle. An investigation into the incident is currently underway.
