The mishap happened a couple of minutes prior to when Rushlane peruser Yashanand, who was headed to Flame Institute saw it. He said that there were two Tata Glade hatchbacks, both of which were influenced in the mishap. Of the two, one got intensely harmed, while the other got away with minor scratches. Driver and occupants of both the Tata test mules escaped unharmed.

Talking about the mischance, Yashanand says that the two cars were heading towards Bangalore. Both Tata Kite test mules were going at a decent cruising pace of around 60-80 kmph. Because of the development work of flyovers on this specific stretch, there are numerous iversions. It is at one such diversion, this mishap occurred. What makes it more risky is the non-appearance of road lights.

At the point when the Tata test mules took one such diversion, they were unconscious what was in store. All of a sudden, a truck rolled in from the flyover development side on the left, and hit them hard. One of the Test mule’s front right wheel fell off the axle because of the effect, while the other car had sufficient time to brake, and spared itself from a much harm.

Tragically, despite the fact that the truck driver acknowledged it was his oversight, he turned around his truck, and moved it out of the harmed Tata Kite’s way. He then proceeded with his way towards Bangalore.

As it was pitch dark, the two harmed Tata cars were currently stranded amidst the street. The second car figured out how to move itself out of the street, and stopped as an afterthought. The driver then secured the car. The other car stood stranded.
