A fan of actor Karthi was killed in a horrific road accident on Monday around 1.30 am. Jeevan Kumar, who was also the general secretary of the actor's fans club in the Thiruvannamalai district, was on his way to his hometown from Chennai.
As per reports, the accident occurred at Tambaram-Irumpuliyur flyover that killed Jeevan Kumar (25) and his friend Dinesh (26), while two others, identified as Karthik (24) and Nagaraj (24), were severely injured.

The onlookers alerted the police and the four of them were taken to the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital.
Jeevan Kumar got married just three months ago and the news of his death shattered the family.
Learning about the incident, Karthi rushed to the deceased's house to express his condolence. He apparently broke down when he saw the boy on the deathbed.
