Five people, including two women and a child, were killed when a lorry collided with a car in Tamil Nadu’s Chidambaram, police said on Thursday.

As per the information, the accident happened when 56-year-old Muhammad Anwar, a resident of Mayiladuthurai, was returning with his family from Chennai after meeting one of their relatives who was ill. The car was driven by another one of their relatives named Yasser Arafat.

As the vehicle was travelling over the P Mutlur bridge in Chidambaram, a lorry coming from the opposite side collided with the vehicle after losing control, killing Mohammed Anwar, Yasser Arafat, two women, Hajira Begum and Harafatnisha, and three-year-old boy Abnan (Harafatnisha’s son) on the spot.

The local police team reached the spot along with the rescue team, who had to pull out parts of the mangled vehicle to remove the bodies, which were then taken to the District Hospital for autopsy, police added.

Meanwhile, a case has been registered and a hunt for the lorry driver, who escaped from the spot, has been launched.

Further investigation is underway in the matter, police said.
