A.R. Ameen, son of composer A.R. Rahman, escaped with minor injuries after the Porsche he was driving collided with a Rapido Wagon-R near the Olympia Tech Park signal in Guindy around 3.30 am on Monday. Ameen and his friend were taken to Kauvery Hospital and discharged after treatment. A passenger in the Wagon-R was injured and admitted to Kalaignar Centenary Super Speciality Hospital, later discharged.
The Adyar Traffic Investigation Wing seized both vehicles and registered a case. Police are examining whether the cab entered Jawaharlal Nehru Road from a side road and whether either vehicle was speeding. CCTV footage from the area will be used to reconstruct the accident.
The accident is still under investigation, but online chatter has already rushed to assign blame. Some assume Ameen's luxury car means reckless driving, while others point at the cab entering from a side road. The truth is unknown until CCTV footage and statements are examined. The police must establish whether either vehicle was speeding or violated traffic rules. The key test will be the reconstruction of the sequence of events from the cameras.
