Ajith Kumar Car Crash: Actor Ajith Kumar, a renowned racing enthusiast, is currently in Dubai to participate in the highly anticipated Dubai 24 Hours race, also known as the 24H Dubai 2025. As part of the preparations, Ajith took part in a practice session for the six-hour long endurance test. However, in a heart-stopping moment, his car crashed into the barriers just a couple of minutes before the test session came to a close.
Fortunately, Ajith, who owns the racing team Ajith Kumar Racing, escaped the incident unscathed. He was set to compete in the highly competitive race alongside his three teammates - Mathieu Detry, Fabian Duffieux and Cameron McLeod. Notably, Fabian Duffieux took over as the team manager for Ajith Kumar Racing in December last year. A video released by his team showed the dramatic crash, where his car spins seven times after hitting the barrier. Ajith was subsequently rescued and taken to an ambulance for a thorough check-up.
Suresh Chandra, Ajith's manager, provided a reassuring update on the actor's health, stating, "Ajith is unhurt, hale and healthy. He was driving at a speed of 180 km when this happened."
