Three college students were injured early Sunday after the car they were in crashed into the compound wall of Lok Bhavan in Guindy, Chennai. The car, carrying five students and allegedly speeding, first hit iron barricades near the main gate on Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Road before striking the wall. The injured, including the 20-year-old driver, were taken to Saidapet Government Hospital. According to Adyar traffic investigation police, the students were heading towards ECR when the accident happened. Police said the car belongs to the driver's mother, a private car company employee. The driver reportedly took the car from home after telling his family he was going out with friends. Police have ruled out drunk driving after a breathalyser test. An investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.
