Her son Adarsh was driving to Chennai from Coimbatore on Sunday night and when he drove on the butterfly flyover in Kondalampatti in Salem at a high speed, his car lost control and rammed onto the barrier of the flyover. The vehicle was coined upside down and got dragged for few meters. 

According to reports, Adarsh had sent his mother Vanathi Srinivasan to Chennai from Coimbatore by train on Sunday night and he had then decided to take a car to reach Chennai.

Following the inquiry, the police had come to know that Adarsh is the son of BJP MLA Vanathi Srinivasan. 

Adarsh wasn't harmed in the accident and the damaged car was then removed from the flyover and taken to the Annathanapatti police station. After the mishap, Adarsh had dialled his mother and informed her about the accident. Vanathi Srinivasan had then informed the BJP cadres in Salem and asked them to visit the spot. The BJP cadres had taken Adarsh to a private hospital in Salem and after the medical checkup, it was ascertained that Adarsh didn't suffer injuries and he was completely alright. 

With huge relief, the BJP cadres had then put Adarsh into another car and sent him to Chennai. Vanathi Srinivasan has two sons Adarsh and Kailash.
