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.
Following the collision, security personnel quickly exited their vehicles to inspect the Chief Minister’s car, ensuring his safety. CM Vijayan remained inside his vehicle as his security team assessed the situation. With no significant damage reported to his car, the convoy was able to continue its journey shortly afterward.
