An elderly man was seriously injured when a car driven allegedly by a 13-yearold girl ran over him in the city recently. The incident came to light after CCTV camera footage went viral on social media.
V Gandhimanian, 68, of Puthu Ramakrishnapuram was sitting on the side of Kuthuspuram street on November 25 when the car ran over him.
“We used to sit on the side of the road after dinner. On that day, my father was sitting alone around 9.30pm. The car ran over him causing injuries, including broken ribs. The father of three had to be hospitalised for four days,” said G Nagarajan, 28, one of his two sons.
“We did not lodge a police complaint after the girl’s family requested us not to do so. Besides, they took care of all the medical expenses of my father,” he said. A CCTV installed in a nearby house captured the accident. The footage showed the car running over him and a relative of the minor driver coming out of the car, followed by the girl.
Nagarajan said, “It would take months to recover from the accident. It is important that people should not allow children to drive vehicles.”
