Driving on Indian roads poses significant dangers; the roads can be extremely risky to maneuver, with the challenging landscapes and the volume of vehicles. Also, there is always a risk of encountering cattle, stray dogs, jaywalkers, and even people driving on the wrong side of the road.
Recently, a video of an accident has gone viral that shows a truck unexpectedly crashed into a Hyundai Creta SUV. The accident occurred in the Solan region of Himachal Pradesh.
According to the video, a truck loaded with charcoal has fallen on one side of the road, and a crushed Hyundai Creta can be seen beneath the truck. Luckily the driver of the Creta escaped with minor injuries.
The video clearly states that the truck driver is to blame for the accident. The driver was recklessly driving the truck at excessive speed. The exact details of the accident are yet to be confirmed by the authorities.
In the mountainous state of Himachal Pradesh, the roads are often narrow and have sharp bends. Based on assumptions, as the truck approached a curve, the driver of the loaded truck could not reduce its speed. Due to the weight of the load, the truck tilted towards the right side.
All of these events occurred in a very short period. As the truck tilted and fell, the Hyundai Creta and the driver got trapped underneath the truck. As seen in the pictures, Creta was crushed under the truck, and only the rear wheel was visible outside.
With the help of a powerful crane, the police managed to lift the truck and discovered that the driver of the Hyundai Creta was alive. The driver had been stuck in between for three hours but miraculously survived the accident. Unfortunately, the SUV itself was completely totaled in the crash.
Nevertheless, there was an additional truck next to the one that toppled. It is yet to be identified whether this truck played a role in causing the accident or if it simply collided with the other truck before it fell over.
Thoughts About The Horrifying Accident
Driving should be done only with caution, and it is very important to exercise utmost caution if you’re driving a heavy vehicle. Reckless driving should be strictly avoided at all costs since it is very challenging to control large vehicles, particularly when carrying a heavy load.
If you are driving behind a heavy vehicle, always maintain a safe distance and wait for signals from the truck driver before you overtake. During nighttime driving, remember to use your pass lights and ensure that the truck driver has acknowledged the presence of your vehicle.
