Chennai Metro Rail officials said the road caved when they were carrying out the tunnel boring work for the metro rail between Thousand Lights and AG-DMS. According to the officials, the soil under the ground may have loosened due to the tunnelling work, leading to the cave-in.
Visuals from the scene show a Honda City car and the MTC bus trapped in the giant crater, with wide cracks usually seen after an earthquake. All metro work has temporarily been suspended and the police have cordoned off the area.

The site is under inspection and a probe has been ordered. In the meanwhile, pictures of the accident spot have gone viral. Netizens took to social media to vent out their anger and questioned the quality of the work but at the same time launched their own probe to investigate what might have caused the carter. While few asked if Rajnikanth was in the vicinity, these pics have become the fodder for meme-makers.
