Chennai, Nov 11:
Six college students were injured when the car in which they were traveling crashed into a concrete central median along the East Coast Road (ECR) in the early hours of Wednesday.
According to police, the group of students had left Chennai and were en route to Puducherry to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The vehicle was reportedly traveling at high speed along the deserted stretch when the driver lost control and slammed into the divider, crumpling the front portion of the vehicle and trapping the occupants inside.
Local residents and highway patrol teams rushed to the site upon hearing the crash, pulled the injured youths from the wreckage, and transported them to a nearby hospital for emergency medical attention. The Traffic Investigation Unit (TIU) has registered a case and initiated inquiries to establish the identities of the students and the colleges in which they are enrolled.
