The decision to travel in another car proved lucky for Telangana's Finance Minister Etala Rajender as the Bullet Proof car, in which he was supposed to travel, met with an accident a few minutes later.
The incident took place near Metpally of Karimnagar district on Monday. Instead of travelling in his official car, Etala boarded the car of Lok Sabha MP G Vinod Kumar, to attend a marriage function. A few minutes later, Etala's car, which was part of the convoy, lost control and hit a tree. The reasons for accident are being ascertained.
