BANGALORE: Three persons were injured when a bullet-proof sports utility vehicle (SUV) belonging to Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, son of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, collided with a lorry at HSR Layout on Bangalore's IT corridor on Saturday.

A police officer was among those injured in the accident that occurred around 10 a.m. when the high-end SUV heading towards the airport to pick up Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy, who was scheduled to arrive here by a 10.30 a.m. flight.
