Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar, whose car was involved in a dual crash during the Porsche Sprint Challenge racing event in Valencia, Spain, escaped unscathed. Sources close to the actor said that despite his car toppling twice, he was “well-protected”. He even finished the race at 14th position.
A video of the crash was shared on X by the actor’s manager, Suresh Chandra. It shows Ajith’s car rear-ending another racer and flipping over multiple times before stopping on the gravel.
Suresh wrote, “In Valencia, Spain, where the races were happening, Round 5 was good for Ajith Kumar. He ended in 14th place, earning appreciation from everyone. Round 6 was unfortunate. Crashed 2 times due to other cars. The video clearly shows he was not at fault. The first time, despite the crash, he got back into the pit and was doing well. When the second crash happened, he toppled twice. His perseverance is stronger, and he comes out unscathed again to continue the race. Thanks for all the prayers and wishes. AK is all right” (sic).
The sources told IANS that Ajith had reassured his teammates that he was well-protected and that there was nothing to worry about. The source said that Ajith had taken the crashes in his stride, saying that they were a part and parcel of racing.
After the incident, Ajith Kumar also waved and posed for pictures with fans.
Fans expressed concerns after the videos of the car crash went viral. One fan wrote, “Glad you are okay. Thank you! In the race you really pushed it hard. From p17 to P14 after a red flag start but things gone out of way, it’s clearly not your fault. But, we care for your well always, it gave a light heartattack when seeing the car spinning it hard (sic)”.
Another fan wrote, “Thank god... Please take care of your health AK.... Be stronger... Come stronger... My dear Thala”.
