A CCTV video has surfaced on social media showing a serious road accident on the Hyderabad-Bijapur highway in Vikarabad district, Telangana. The footage carries a timestamp of December 20, 2025. In the video, which has now gone viral across X and Reddit, a DCM truck is seen approaching from the front and taking a right turn at an intersection. As it turns, the vehicle loses balance. The right-side tyres lift off the ground and the truck topples onto its left side on vehicles - smashing a few vehicles.

After the accident, traffic was heavily affected for around two hours, causing inconvenience to commuters on the highway.

Overloading and speed suspected
