New Delhi:
Actor and professional racer Ajith Kumar met with an accident during the GT4 European Series in Italy.
What’s Happening
- The incident took place at the Misano circuit while he was competing in the second round of the championship.
- Ajith’s car collided with a stationary vehicle on the track, leading to his withdrawal from the race.
- The actor did not sustain any injuries.
- A video from the scene shows Ajith stepping out of his car and helping the marshals clear debris from the track.
- The actor personally assisted the clean-up process following the crash.
- One of the race commentators noted, “Ajith Kumar out of the car, out of the race. It’s the first significant bit of damage we’ve seen from him this year. He’s a fine champ, he goes and helps the marshals clear up all the bodies. Not many drivers would do that.”
Out of the race with damage, but still happy to help with the clean-up.
Full respect, Ajith Kumar 🫡
