A teenager drove a car through narrow streets of Washermenpet, banging into people and vehicles on Sunday evening. The mayhem left two people injured and ten vehicles damaged.
A first-year college student from Madurai, the boy had come to Chennai on Saturday to meet one of his relatives. On Sunday, he told his relatives that he knew driving and that he would park the car outside the compound. Relatives told police that they refused to give him the car, but he took it away when they were away.
The boy, who clearly did not know driving, lost control of the vehicle and crashed against a few vehicles near his house. When some people on bikes shouted and chased him, he panicked and tried to speed away through Elaya Street, Sundaram Pillai Nagar and Vaidyanathan bridge.
“He went through narrow stretches, damaging bikes parked all along the street,” said a police officer. “He drove for at least to 2km.” A CCTV footage recovered from Elaya street showed the maroon colour car zipping across a street and damaging a motor bike. A few motorists were seen chasing the car. After crossing the bridge, he did not know how to bring the vehicle to a halt and rammed into a tree, damaging the vehicle.
People finally caught him and bashed him up. A traffic policeman rescued him from the angry crowd. Washermenpet traffic investigation police booked him for rash driving. He was later let off on bail.
