A six-year-old boy died and his father and sister sustained serious injuries following a collision between a motorcycle and a private van on the Vandalur flyover near Tambaram on Wednesday, according to The Hindu.
The incident occurred while the father, Saravanan, was transporting his children from Vandalur towards Perungalathur. The motorcycle was reportedly travelling in the wrong direction on the GST Road flyover when it had a head-on collision with a private company van.
The boy, who was seated at the front of the motorcycle, was thrown from the vehicle and killed after being trapped under the van. Saravanan and his daughter, Dishana, also suffered serious bodily injuries during the impact.
The injured family members were taken to a private hospital for medical treatment. The Guduvanchery Traffic Investigation Wing police arrived at the scene and moved the child's body to the Chromepet Government Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
