A truck heading toward Miyapur from Kukatpally lost control and rammed into a traffic umbrella near the U-turn point.
Three traffic police personnel posted at the traffic umbrella were critically injured in the incident, which occurred when the truck was making a U-turn at Metro pillar number 600.
The truck was being driven at a high speed, which apparently led to the driver losing control while making a U-turn.

The car driver lost control and hit the divider. The vehicle then rammed into a DCM truck coming from the opposite direction.&nbsp;
Genome Valley Police Station of Cyberabad Police Commissionerate registered a case and took up the investigation.
In another accident, 15 people were injured when a bus belonging to Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) overturned in the Hanumkonda district on Tuesday.&nbsp;
The accident occurred around 3.30 am near Chintagattu in Hasanparthy Mandal. The Lahri Express bus was heading to Adilabad from Ongole.
