A 9-year-old girl was killed and her younger brother grievously injured when an earth-moving machine accidentally plunged into a wall while clearing mud and trash from a drainage line during the Pattana Pragathi program works in the 45th division of Warangal Urban on Sunday.
According to the information received, the machine was clearing waste from the drainage when it accidentally shoved into the wall which collapsed and fell on the two children who were playing at the spot.
While the girl Princy died on the spot, her younger brother sustained injuries and was taken to the MGM Hospital.
The bereaved family alleged that the incident took place due to the driver's negligence.
