South-Indian film actress Pranitha escaped with simple injuries when a car in which she was travelling overturned in the Nalgonda district on Sunday.
Police said the accident occurred near Mothey on the Suryapet-Khammam road when Pranitha, her mother and four others were returning to Hyderabad from Khammam after attending a shopping mall inauguration there.
The car lost balance and overturned when the driver tried to avoid hitting a two-wheeler. The occupants all sustained simple injuries.
A few people repairing a road nearby rushed to their rescue and called an ambulance. The injured were shifted to a hospital in Suryapet.
Pranita tweeted that she was safe and was yet to recover from the shock. She thanked the people who called an ambulance immediately after the incident.
She also posted the photos of the accident scene.
Pranita later reached the Shamshabad airport in a mini-bus and took a flight for Benguluru.
On being told about the accident, actors Nithin and Manchu Vishnu called her. "Really relieved after talking to @pranitasubhash.God has been kind.she is safe cause of wearing the seat belt.Hope many of us learn frm this (sic)," Vishnu tweeted.
Vishnu acted with Pranita in
Dynamite.
It may be recalled that Junior NTR, too, met with an accident at Mothe in the Nalgonda district in 2009 during election campaigning.
