A man unintentionally crashed his newly purchased car into a temple pillar in Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu after a blessing ceremony. A video of the incident has now surfaced on social media. Notably, the owner of the car identified as Sudhakar recently purchased a new car and decided to participate in a customary 'puja' in a nearby temple. After the traditional rituals were completed, Sudhakar, an experienced driver, started the car to mark his maiden journey.
However, he lost control and accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, causing him to collide with a pillar-like structure within the temple grounds. Another person who was talking to Sudhakar through the window was seen clinging to the car, while a third man ran behind the vehicle.
What happened inside the temple was not caught on camera, but it is said that the car crashed into a structure and stopped. The man was not injured in the accident and escaped unscathed, but his brand new vehicle suffered minor damage.
