**Chennai: Cleanliness Worker Dies After Colliding with Stray Buffalo on ECR**

 A tragic road accident on the East Coast Road (ECR) near Mahabalipuram claimed the life of a 33-year-old cleanliness worker named Maran, who was employed with the Kovilambakkam panchayat. 

The accident occurred on Wednesday night when Maran, traveling to Puducherry on his motorcycle, collided with a stray buffalo around 9:30 PM near Pudipulam. Due to the poor visibility, Maran did not spot the buffalo in time, leading to a severe impact. 


The collision resulted in Maran being thrown off his bike and suffering fatal head injuries, causing his death on the spot.


Mahabalipuram police have sent Maran’s body to Chengalpattu Government Hospital for post-mortem and are investigating the case further. They are currently searching for the owner of the stray buffalo, which caused the fatal accident.


This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding stray animals on highways and their role in causing accidents.
