A 22-year-old car showroom worker, Vimal Raj, died in a car crash in Coimbatore after the vehicle he was in collided with steel pipes for a natural gas project. The incident occurred when the car, driven by 23-year-old Akash, lost control after hitting a bike; the trio, who had been drinking, attempted to flee but crashed into the pipes, leading to a fire that trapped Vimal. Police have registered a case as Akash and another co-worker escaped with minor injuries.
