Fatal car accident on Madurai-Karur highway kills three family members, injures two; driver may have dozed off.
Three members of a family including a 10-year-old girl were killed and two others sustained injuries after the car they were travelling in rammed a roadside tree on the Madurai - Karur national highway near Andipattikottai in Karur district in the early hours on Monday, July 22, 2024.
The occupants of the car were heading back to Erode after worshipping at the Tiruchendur temple when the fatal accident occured at around 3.30 a.m. The deceased were identified as N. Krishnakumar (40), who drove the vehicle, his minor daughter Varuna and mother-in-law Indrani (67).
Police sources said Krishnakumar along with his wife, son, daughter and mother-in-law left for Tiruchendur temple from Erode in the car on Saturday evening. He was returning to Erode when he apparently lost control and the vehicle rammed a roadside tree.
In the impact of the collision, Krishnakumar, his daughter and mother-in-law died on the spot. Krishnakumar’s 15-year-old son Sudharshan and wife Mohana (40) sustained injuries and were admitted to a private hospital in Karur. Police suspect that Krishnakumar could have dozed off while driving and lost control of the vehicle leading to the accident. The services of fire fighters were engaged to remove the bodies from the car as the front portion of the vehicle was badly damaged. The Aravakurichi police are investigating.
When Kaleeshabi Mahaboob, Padma Shri awardee and the first Indian Muslim woman to perform nadaswaram on stage, says she almost gave up music once to take up tailoring, it feels unbelievable. Because what the world stood to lose had that happened was a divine experience. On stage, flanked by her husband Sheik Mahaboob Subhani (also a Padma Shri recipient) and her son Firose Babu, Kaleeshabi with her nadaswaram is a force to reckon.
