A shocking case of reckless driving by a minor has come to light in Kochi, Kerala, where a 16-year-old boy took his father’s car for a joyride and crashed into multiple vehicles along the Cherai–Njarakkal road on Saturday morning. The incident, which was caught on CCTV, has sparked outrage among locals and raised fresh concerns about underage driving.
According to reports, the teenager, accompanied by two of his friends, took out a Toyota Innova belonging to his father, Abdul Rasheed, a resident of Kaloor. The boy reportedly drove at high speed, ramming through the narrow coastal road before losing control and colliding with several vehicles. One person sustained injuries in the incident, while several others narrowly escaped being hit.
