: A 54-year-old man driving at high speed first knocked over a metal barricade and then rammed into two bikes, injuring two of the four riders seriously at the Camp Road-Mappedu Road junciton near Selaiyur on Saturday afternoon.
A CCTV grab of the incident, shows the man stopping his vehicle some distance away and coolly walking away while onlookers rushed to rescue those knocked down. Police later arrested the man, identified as Varadhan of Agaram, and are investigating whether he was drunk at the time.
The seriously injured were two 18-year-olds, Gladson and Vikram, from Selaiyur. The other two were Arumugam (45) and his wife Shanthi (41). None of the four was wearing a helmet.
CCTV footage from the accident site shows the car travelling at a high speed and ramming into the barricade placed on the right side of the road close to the median. The car then proceeds without slowing down and knocks down the two bikes.
Shocked passersby rushed the injured people to hospital in autorickshaws.
Saroja, a woman selling pots on the roadside, said “We were all concentrating on rescuing the victims, even though some of us saw the man who drove the car escaping from the scene.”
Police said that the man could have been drunk or could have pressed the accelarator instead of applying the brake. “We have collected CCTV footage from other junctions to check if he had hit any other vehicle,” said an investigating officer.
Based on a complaint lodged by the injured bikers, the Chromepet traffic investigation wing have registered a case under IPC section 338 (causing grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others).
RECKLESS: The bikers had no way to escape the speeding four-wheeler
