All passengers escaped unhurt, despite the vehicles sustaining significant damage.The accident occurred at the Vamanapuram Park Junction around 5.45 p.m. when Mr. Vijayan was returning to Thiruvananthapuram from Kottayam, along with his security convoy.
The incident took place after a scooterist, who went ahead of the Chief Minister’s pilot vehicle, turned right towards Attingal from the MC Road. This prompted the driver of the pilot vehicle to brake suddenly, leading to the Chief Minister’s official car, an escort vehicle, police vehicles of the Vattappara and Kanjiramkulam police units, and an ambulance ramming into each other.
The panic-stricken security officials soon rushed to ascertain the well-being of the Chief Minister, before the latter resumed his journey to the State capital. The police have initiated an inquiry into the accident to determine any possible lapses.Published – October 28, 2024 09:28 pm IST
