Five people were injured after a speeding car collided with multiple motorcycles in the Thoraipakkam area of Chennai on Tuesday evening, according to local police officials.
The accident reportedly occurred on a busy stretch of road when the car, allegedly traveling at high speed, lost control and rammed into several two-wheelers waiting near a traffic signal. Eyewitnesses said the impact knocked riders off their motorcycles and caused panic among nearby motorists and pedestrians.
