Accidents are pretty common in India. With the increasing number of accidents, many customers have started showing interest in the safer cars tested by Global NCAP. Here is an accident of a Tata Tigor, which is a four-star safety rated sedan in India, which has saved five passengers travelling inside the car.
Sanjay Tiwari has shared his experience of an accident in a Tata Tigor. According to the information available, the accident happened on National Highway 43 when the car was going towards Chitrakoot and the incident happened at Shadol Bypass.
The vehicle was at a high speed when a biker entered the lane suddenly. To save the motorcycle rider, the driver of the Tata Tigor got the vehicle down from the road. Due to the high speed, the vehicle went out of control. The Tata Tigor then overturned on the highway. Four people were travelling in the car at the time of the accident and no one is seriously injured.
Everyone in the car sustained minor injuries and was shifted to a medical college for first aid. The biker was saved due to the quick reaction from the driver of the Tigor.
The pictures of the vehicle show that the vehicle is lying upside down and it has got major damage all around. However, the passenger cabin is intact and there are no damages on the pillars as well. In many cases, the pillars of the car give away and crush the passengers. Even small dents and bends on the pillars can cause doors to jam and recovering the passengers becomes a big task.
The owner of the car thanked the build quality of the vehicle while sharing the post.
