Two youths held for deliberate car crash, vandalism in Vijayawada

The Central Zone police registered cases against two persons for allegedly ramming their vehicles into each other intentionally near the RR Gardens area.

According to the police, the two youths reportedly had a heated argument over the phone and challenged each other to meet on Thursday night. They arrived in separate four-wheelers and allegedly drove the vehicles into each other head-on on High Tension Road under the limits of the Patamata police station.

The accused later allegedly damaged the vehicles using iron rods, creating panic among motorists and commuters on the busy road.

Patamata Circle Inspector V. Pavan Kishore said on Friday that the accused had been taken into custody and an investigation was underway.
