TDP leader K Yerran Naidu died in a fatal road accident, which took place in the wee hours today at Ranstalam of Srikakulam. The mishap took place when the car in which he was travelling collided with a speeding oil tanker. While others in the car sustained major injuries, including the driver, Yerran Naidu was immediately rushed to hospital but was declared brought dead. He was survived by a son and a daughter.
Post mortem was conducted on Yerran Naidu at RIMS hospital. His dead body would be kept at his residence in Srikakulam for public to pay last respects.
