A day after a man was killed in a hit-and-run while standing on the Durgam Cheruvu cable-stayed bridge in Madhapur, Hyderabad’s flyovers continued to double up as late-night hangout spots, with motorists stopping to take photographs, celebrate occasions and linger dangerously close to speeding traffic.

On Sunday (April 19, 2026) night, vehicles lined up along the bridge as people climbed railings in search of the perfect shot, seemingly unfazed by the fatal accident just hours earlier.
