Summary
- Two medical students died in a car accident near Tiruvallur.
- Two other students sustained injuries in the crash.
- The accident occurred while returning from visiting a friend.
Two third-year medical students tragically lost their lives and two others were injured in a severe car accident that occurred near the Karanodai flyover in Tiruvallur district. The incident took place in the early hours of Saturday, around 2:30 am.
The four students, pursuing their education at a private medical college in Manjankaranai, were on their way back to their residence near Ponneri. They had been out late on Friday to visit a friend in Red Hills.
Preliminary investigations suggest the driver lost control of the vehicle while approaching the flyover. The car subsequently collided with the median, leading to it overturning and causing severe injuries to the occupants. Tragically, two students, identified as P Amrish and S Saran, succumbed to their injuries at the scene.
Emergency services, including the Red Hills traffic investigation wing, arrived promptly. The injured students were transported to a local hospital for immediate medical attention, while the bodies of the deceased were sent to the Govt Stanley Medical College Hospital in Chennai for postmortem examination. A case has been registered under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and investigations are ongoing.
