Family of Three, Including Toddler, Killed in Collision With Police Van in Tamil Nadu
Imagine a family riding on a motorbike, a mom, a dad, and their little boy.
They were coming back home after picking up another family member.
Sadly, a police car that was going very fast crashed into their motorbike.
The crash was so bad that the mom, dad, and their little boy all passed away.
The other family member who was with them got very hurt and is in the hospital.
People in the town were very upset when this happened and protested because they were angry about the accident.

The incident occurred near Sakkudi when a police vehicle from the Ramanathapuram district reportedly rammed into the family's bike.
The family was returning to their native village after picking up a relative, Sonai Eswari (25), who sustained serious injuries and is hospitalized.
