In Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s convoy faced an unexpected collision involving multiple escort vehicles. The incident took place in Vamanapuram, where a sudden maneuver by a scooter rider disrupted the convoy’s flow, resulting in a five-vehicle pileup. Footage of the scene has emerged, showing the aftermath of the collision and damage to some of the vehicles.
The incident was triggered when a scooter rider entered the convoy’s path from a side road, cutting abruptly in front of the pilot escort vehicle. To avoid a direct collision, the escort vehicle applied sudden brakes, causing a chain reaction where all following vehicles collided. Fortunately, despite the multi-car impact, no injuries were reported among the security personnel or convoy members.
