Former MLA Redya Naik Escapes Unhurt After Car Is Hit From Behind in Mahabubabad
Former MLA Redya Naik escaped unhurt after the car he was travelling in was hit from behind by another vehicle in Abbayyapalem on the outskirts of Maripeda mandal in Telangana’s Mahabubabad district on Thursday, August 13, 2026.
The incident took place near the road leading to a rice mill. According to local residents, a motorcycle travelling ahead of Redya Naik’s car suddenly took a U-turn. At the same time, a group of workers was approaching from the opposite direction, prompting the driver of the former MLA’s car to slow down to avoid them.
A second car, reportedly travelling at high speed from behind, then lost control and crashed into the rear of Redya Naik’s vehicle. The collision damaged the rear portion of the former MLA’s car, but there were no fatalities in the incident.
How the accident happened
The crash occurred near the rice mill road in the Abbayyapalem area of Maripeda mandal.
Based on accounts from local residents, the sequence began when a two-wheeler travelling ahead suddenly made a U-turn. With workers also approaching from the opposite direction, the driver of Redya Naik’s car reduced the vehicle’s speed.
The car behind was unable to stop in time and collided with the former MLA’s vehicle from the rear. The impact caused visible damage to the back portion of Redya Naik’s car.
The available information does not indicate any loss of life in the collision. Further details about possible injuries, the extent of damage to the other vehicle, or the circumstances surrounding the driver’s loss of control have not been provided.
Local residents reach the spot.
News of the accident brought residents from Abbayyapalem and Dharavath Thanda to the scene. They met Redya Naik and inquired about his well-being after the collision.
The absence of any reported fatality brought relief among people who gathered at the location. The incident nevertheless drew attention because the former MLA’s vehicle was directly involved in the rear-end collision.
What is known so far
The accident involved three road movements occurring at roughly the same time: a motorcycle making a sudden U-turn, workers approaching from the opposite direction, and another car travelling behind Redya Naik’s vehicle.
The former MLA’s driver reportedly slowed down in response to the developing situation on the road. The vehicle following behind subsequently struck the car from the rear.
These details are based on accounts provided by local residents. A complete official account of the accident was not available in the information provided.
Further details awaited
More information is awaited on the incident, including whether anyone travelling in the vehicles sustained injuries and whether any official inquiry or other action followed the collision.
For now, the key development is that Redya Naik escaped the road accident without any reported loss of life. His vehicle, however, sustained damage to its rear section after being hit by another car near Abbayyapalem in Mahabubabad district.
