They said as Leelavathi began crossing the Kennedy Theater area, a speeding car rammed into her, throwing her almost 50 metres away.

Leelavathi was taken to a private hospital in Gandhiouram, where she is undergoing treatment.

The driver of the car has been identified as Udham Kumar. Variety Hall Police have registered a case against Kumar and have initiated an investigation.

Visuals of the accident have now gone viral on social media.

In the video, the vehicle can be seen hitting a motorcycle-borne elderly man, who falls down and struggles to gather himself when an unwary Leelavathi, walking on the side of a street, hears a speeding car approaching.

As she turns around to see the car, it hits her, making her fly in the air and stick to the car’s bonnet. However, the car does not stop immediately and drags her for several metres.
