AR Rahman's son Ameen suffers minor injuries in Chennai car crash
There is a very famous music composer in India named A.R. Rahman.
His son Ameen is a singer too.
One early morning in the big city of Chennai, Ameen was riding in his fancy Porsche car with a friend.
Near a big office park, a small cab came onto the main road from a side street, and the two cars bumped into each other.
Ameen and his friend got some little bumps and bruises, and a person in the cab was hurt a little too.
They were all taken to hospitals so doctors could check that they were okay.
The doctors said nobody had serious injuries, so they all got to go home that day.
The police took both damaged cars for inspection and are watching security camera videos to figure out exactly what happened.
Ameen's sister wrote on social media that Ameen is safe, which made his fans happy.
Nobody was badly hurt, which is the best part of the story.
A.R. Ameen, son of Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman, suffered minor injuries after the Porsche he was travelling in collided with a Wagon-R cab near Olympia Tech Park in Chennai.
The accident occurred around 3:30 a.m. on Monday, August 10, on Jawaharlal Nehru Road (Inner Ring Road) in Guindy, though one report described it as Sunday evening.
Police said the cab reportedly entered the main road from a side or adjoining lane near the Kathipara flyover; the cab passenger was also injured.
Ameen and his friend were treated and discharged from Kauvery Hospital, while the cab passenger was treated and discharged from Kalaignar Centenary Super Speciality Hospital; no life-threatening injuries were reported.
The Adyar Traffic Investigation Wing registered a case and impounded both vehicles, examining CCTV footage and speed levels, while Ameen's sister Khatija Rahman confirmed on Instagram that he is safe.
