Actress Pranitha injured in road accident

South Indian actress Pranitha escaped with minor injuries when a car in which she was travelling overturned in Telangana's Nalgonda district on Sunday, police said.

The accident occurred near Mothey on the Suryapet-Khammam road when she, her mother and four others were returning to Hyderabad from Khammam. All the occupants sustained minor injuries.

The car lost balance and overturned when the driver tried to avoid hitting a two-wheeler.

A few people repairing a road nearby rushed to their rescue and called an ambulance. The injured were shifted to a hospital in Suryapet.

The actress, who works in Telugu and Kannada films, returned to Hyderabad in another vehicle.

Pranitha, who was returning after inaugurating a showroom in Khammam, posted images of the overturned vehicle on Twitter.

"While on our way back from Khammam. Perfectly fine but unable to come out of the shock," she tweeted.
