Viveka slightly injured in road accident

Kadapa Oct 10, 2012: YSR Congress leader and former Minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy has been slightly injured in a road accident at Alavalapadu Cross Roads in the YSR district this morning.

Police said Vivekananda Reddy and his driver Lakshmi Narayana sustained injuries when the car in which they were travelling was involved in a head-on collision with an RTC bus at the Alavalapadu Cross Roads in Vempally Mandalam.

The accident took place when Viveka was on his way to Kadapa from Pulivendula, police said, adding the absence of the caution boards at a sharp curve near the cross roads has led to the accident.

Viveka and his driver were taken to the Kadapa Hospital after administering first aid.
