Paderu, in Visakhapatnam, witnessed a freak accident during the wee hours of Tuesday when a 16-year-old died and two others were severely injured after falling off from a giant wheel at a fair that was set up at Government Junior College grounds. The teen girl, identified as G Bhavani of Paderu, reportedly died on the spot after sustaining a fatal injury to her head while the injured ones were rushed to a local hospital before being taken to King George Hospital in Visakhapatnam city, where their condition is known to be stable.
